Beware out there folks - not nice 'present' on returning home today (28 Viewers)

As it goes, what is the life of the occasional OAP or child to getting somewhere faster?

Think you have to make that 2 separate questions before I could give an honest answer

pretty unsocial of the residents of that small village not wanting themselves or the kids run over...

I'm in favour when there is actually pedestrian traffic, but this is so typical of a Mid-Wales one horse village - usually deserted with nobody there to be run over. All the extra limit does in these cases is cause confusion, especially 3 different limit changes in such a small distance.

Its not what is painted on the road (thats optional and could be wrong) it is the sign and if the sign is covered that in itself would be presentable as reasonable 'defence' as signage has to be clearly viewable, painted road signage is optional and its not a red circle but normally just advisory white paint (not a sign giving an order) !

So no red ringed sign but with street lights, its in Wales (I think) so its 20mph? but 40mph painted on the road and thats what the traffic was doing. It would be an interesting case if it got to court.
