The street lights have to be no more than a 182 metres and 88 cms apart

Which is fascinating
I keep one of these in the car.

The Beaconside road, once the extensions have been completed through the Tixall Road developments, link up with the existing super 60 mph highway. See below.View attachment 4102
There are some bizarre limits about the place - the new bit of road at Norton Bridge is wide, smooth and without significant bends or hazards - it is a 50 mph limit.

Where you end up back on the old, narrow, twisty, potholed road, the limit goes up to 60 mph.

Completely agree. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at speed limit decision making meetings, some seem so random.

My favourites are where a low speed limit section of road ends and goes up to say 60, straight into a tight chevron signed bend...

It doesn't really matter whether it's 40 or 50, there are lots of houses whose owners have to exit onto a main road just like those people at Beaconside/Parkside. It won't be easy.
Indeed, we just don't want people thinking a 40 is a 50, should there be a van along there at some point.

Of course it matters. The faster the traffic is going, the less time there is for cars to emerge from the side roads making it more difficult....this is after all what the discussion was about.
