Besides, it is not possible to go wrong to assume a built up area is 30mph until informed that you are allowed to go faster. It could be 20mph, but they *should* have signs and repeaters.Â* The whole thing is a bit of an arse at the moment. 20's are put in in the hope of getting drivers down somewhere nearer 30. The main problem here is that they get applied to a whole stretch of road, not just at critical points. I find the French do this much better. A couple of miles away there is a village, no streetlamps, so has a 40 limit. It should be 30 because apart from the streetlamps it is no different to any suburban residential road. If any proof is needed that some drivers are completely blind to environment or limit signs, it is that the road has a speed camera. |

In other countries I have visited, 30mph or 50kph seems to be universal unless otherwise informed. |

Which pretty much is exactly what the previous poster said. I'll let you read it again; That may be the strict definition but in practice no streetlamps and no signs in a built up area is an unlikely combination. Besides, it is not possible to go wrong to assume a built up area is 30mph until informed that you are allowed to go faster. If you are having trouble, put your finger on the screen and move your lips in time to the words, some find it helps. |
