i havnt had reason to drive through clayton for some time and i was aware the council were putting a very much un-enforcable 20phh speed limit through the entire area of hyndburn on side streets but what a mess it looks having all these 20mph signs on the end of every street it looks a right propper mess and god knows how much it cost putting all these extra signs up.
we didnt need speed limit signs on every single street when it was 30mph and im pretty sure all it needed was a mention in teh press and a big sign saying side streets are 20mph as you enter hyndburn right next to the ones saying welcome to hyndburn but i guess thats just not expensive enough and too much common sense involved.
As for enforcing it i doubt anyone will be prosecuted for doing over 20mph on a side street unless they start putting speed cameras on side streets because if by some miracle a copper is in teh area by the time they have calculated the speed of a car it will have either reached its destination or turned off.
just seems a huge waste of money and probably thought up by some half wit trying to justify the existence of his job
Hell you have to be mental to risk doing anything over 20mph on a side street in hyndburn anyway because the side streets are in such a mess you will damage your car if you do.
Maybe rip down teh signs and put them over the many potholes in our streets i dare say there arnt many residents in hynburn that are more than 50ft away from a pot hole.
If any people of a van driving variety take a liking to these signs wont object if they turn up in a scrap metal yard somewhere abroad waiting to be turned into something usefull
