A 30mph road is not such because the local council has failed to decide on a speed, its because the council feel that the national 30mph standard is a suitable maximum speed for the road.

" > > there is no such thing as a recommended speed for any road . Like I said at 16:26 - "We've covered that point already". The recommended maximum speed (commonly known as speed limit) is determined by the local authorities for *every* road in their area. |
