The maximum speed is both recommended by the local authority and enforced by law in the form of a speed limit.

Maybe you can point to a bit of the HC which says it. Do you know the difference between "recommended" and "mandated"?

I think I see the confusion: Do you mean that the local authority recommend to the county (or higher authority) what the speed limit should be? Your post makes it sound as though you believe speed limits are the recommended speed to travel at. (as recommended by the local authority)
