Is a twenty mph limit legally enforceable?

May have changed recently but certainly up to a year or two ago there wasnt any speed detection equipment that was certified to operate below 30mph which is why all 20s needed to be self enforcing through physical means as the police couldnt and wouldnt enforce.
More recently councils have just been introducing the speed limits without traffic calming on the back of some trials in Portsmouth and been skewing the results ever since to justify the spend.
Another Internet myth I'm afraid.More recently councils have just been introducing the speed limits without traffic calming on the back of some trials in Portsmouth and been skewing the results ever since to justify the spend.
All equipment gets certified from 20mph.. One was recertified to a lowest speed limit of 30mph. It just happened to be most used.
