Worst speed limits in Britain

[WHBM]

Pretty much every road in/around Bath is about 10mph lower than what they would be in most small cities.

I think this has become a fashion. South Bucks Council, which had all the limits from 30 to 70 some years ago, progressively went around and reduced the whole lot by 10mph.

It makes so sense - if you look at Eden Park there is even a road from Cheadle Hulme which is cut off that would have been able to serve the development but instead the linked it to the A34 which is stupid. Its not even that big and wouldn't add much traffic to Cheadle Hulme!

Exactly, which is why it's difficult to understand why the new lights have been installed.

How about this one then ? BTW, coming the other way the 30 limit starts much closer to the village. Needless to say, the cash camera car stations itself there !

Noticed that there is a pony & riding centre nearby - perhaps there have been a few close calls with horses and speeding vehicles?

So, people who don't slow down for horses respect lower speed limits?
