Pointless exercise
Like the many restricted turns and no-entries the council has installed, the limits are likely to be unpoliced and so ineffective. ACPO guidelines say limits should be appropriate to the road, the need for compliance obvious to all; if confusing or unclear, they will not be routinely enforced; and that enforcement should not be used to set speeds.
Every day I see cowboy drivers flouting the current prohibitions. They will ignore the new limits too. These will serve only to disadvantage the law-abiding, who pose little risk to others.
