Should it be clearer that it is a 30 mph road.

I also have problems with light bulbs going all the time and recently my mirror fell off the wall.

The lorrys don't help.

Firstly, are you talking about the stretch of road from Clayton lights to Dunkenhalgh Hotel? If so, traffic has been slowed considerably by roadworks and temp lights over the past couple of days.

Have you checked your lights recently? Not being sarcastic, it's surprising how many people can be unaware for months at a time that their brake or indicator lights are not working

It should not be a priority that the 30mph limit is "advertised" on this road. It is a built up area with houses on either side of the road and so automatically becomes a 30 mph limit by law. Drivers should know this (I think that it also has to do with the space between street lamps?)

Regarding your light bulbs that are going some place? and your 7 year bad-luck broken mirror, If I were you, I would harrass your M.P. to INCREASE the speed limit as there would be less vibration from H.G.V's doing 50 mph than 30 m.p.h.

I go down that road on a regular basis and consider the speed of the traffic to be fairly sensible. I may be slightly biased though as I am normally driving a 40 ft coach that kicks up a little vibration at 30 mph but please don't sue me for the cost of your mirror
