After all, if these speed limits are not enforced,(which they don't appear to be) then they are no better than doing nothing.

The other way to make that road safer would be to put railings up outside the schools and a couple of crossings with lights on. They don't appear to like doing that any more though.
My primary school - yes it is still there and hasn't fallen down yet - had railings outside it from the car park to the school and along a stretch of footpath opposite so you couldn't step into the road and is on a 30mph road. It's opposite the Foxfields and Mytton Fold.
Here is a link if it works
