Can Anyone Tell Me

Approx how much does it cost to erect a speed size. I ask because a road near me 30mph they have erected 14 20mph sizes on 6 roads off this 30mph road which is only 400yds long ........car roar down this road if they had put 20 mph at start of road there would only be a need for 6 signs. (ive got my rant under control !!!!!!!)

Or they could have trained their mind to work properly and leave the roads at a speed that is reasonable instead of trying to frustrate and stress all the decent drivers out. But I suspect that's not a fun thing for them to do with our public money.

Officialdom; probably much more than you would imagine what with all the paperwork and shuffling stuff from one place to another.

A purely random website - Wiltshire Highways, offers this.

Signs

To erect a warning or regulatory sign on a new post costs £150 - £500 dependant on size.
Direction signs on new posts typically cost between £200 - £1,000 dependant on their size.

(If any sign requires external illumination then a further £500 £1,000 can be added to the cost for connection to the electricity supply).

It's to stop people claiming they never saw the sign
