As you said OP, that looks like a scary place to want to do more than 20mph down anyway!

What speed is the road supposed to be?

This may help:

I dont understand all the limits in the chart, 5, 10, 20, 30, 35 etc etc etc. explain?

I think it is a range rather than a specific limit so 30-35mph rather than 30 or 35mph even though it means the same thing with out system considering there is not usually a 35mph limit anywhere.

It's probably non UK software or something smile

That house needs a V8 respose every night at about 3am. Hard on the brakes down to 30 and second gear and then hard back on the gas.
Or, as a more subtle response, why not make up your own speed limit sign and switch them over one day.

For additional comedy effect, you could make them up saying "90"...

I read recently in some local business magazine that some do-gooder has put up a few of these signs on a busy main road near me.

20mph advisory signs, obviously everyone ignores them

When there is a limit change, I always thought it was necessary to have a sign indicating the new speed either side of the road. Is this the case here OP?
I thought that was going in the new regs "draft here" https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa...
around P23ish, but i can't be bothered looking for it smile
