Road safety

Know your limits!

Motorists who are captured by mobile or fixed safety cameras exceeding a 30mph speed limit often claim that there were no speed limit signs on the streetlights. Are there Streetlights? Then it's 30 unless otherwise stated.  Visit www.streetlightsmean30.co.uk (new window)
