Our friends live out in the sticks a bit & when you leave their village the limit changes from 30mph to 60mph - for about 100 metres! Then it goes back to 30mph as you approach the next hamlet. Always struck me as a bit daft but no doubt there's some legal reason for the short stretch of national speed limit
Thanks, some interesting answers. I do not think it was a strange question - one or two roads round my way have short, yet noticeable stretches within 30 zones which seem "faster". I thought perhaps, they were too short to warrant a temporary limit. However, I'd also say too many changes in the limit would only cause confusion and offer an excuse for speeding drivers. I was not advocating speeding, and for the record I do my best to keep within them - as a yound driver I cannot afford the consequences, financial or otherwise!
