It's why Wales went for a blanket limit. Saves a lot of signs but some in the area I go too are appearing. There is also a reluctance to stick to it on some roads but odd ones do. Many somewhat less than 30.

But it does not save on signs - there was a very significant cost to alter existing 30 MPH signs from 30 / 40 to 20 and back to 40 and then to 30 and back to national. Last time I drove in Wales it was a shambles with speed limits changing every couple of hundred yards. Best bit was I was in a 20 then raised to 30 as it passed a school.
Don't get me wrong 20 past schools vulnerable people Care homes etc with ridged enforcement based on risk great. Blanket 20 mph based on well dogma is just pants.

I was making a point about motorbikes comment about 20mph on a road and 30 on side roads
It could be looked at in another way - see street lights and the limit is 30 unless a sign says otherwise. Make that 20 but some populated roads in Wales have no street lights.

ajohn very true but there was a very significant cost expended in Wales to alter signs before the change. Evidence by the 20 MPH stickers used to cover up the 30 MPH markers. They all do need a permanent change as well by the way at least those that have not been defaced back to 30 mph of course.
