Slighty related issue....

We live off a road that has been 40mph for many many years....


they reduced it to 30 mph late last year, a small "the speed limit has changed" sign at each end, and removed all the 40 signs....

fine, that should be enough, no signs, plus steetlight intervals means 30.


trouble is, everyone 'knows' its 40, so noone alters there speed.

Had it been me, a few more signs would have gone up, and replaced the 40's for 30's as a reminder.

but no.


so......sledgehammer to crack a nut time...

we now have these hi-tech flashing 30 signs when you go past them too fast.

Im sure a lot of money could have been saved here

The A452 through Streetly (near me, comes under Walsall CC) was 40mph with speed safety cameras every 100yds or so.

One morning, at about 10:00am, they changed all the signs to 30mph, and adjusted the cameras, with no warning!

They were knocking them off like nine pins for the rest of the day
