A537 near Knutsford, Speed Limit Reduction?

[MC Bodge]

I have recently noticed some new signs on posts on the A537 near Knutsford that look suspiciously like speed limit repeaters, but appear to be covered with bin liners.

Shall we try to guess what the new speed limit, replacing the NSL, will be?

...and, a 50 mph limit has now been introduced on Chelford Road.

It could have been worse, but I don't believe that it was necessary or will make much difference to anything.

The various reduced limits on the A535 and A50 are quite unnecessary too. The long stretch of 30 on the A535 is frustrating.

The 50's are a right pain in the arse... there's no need for them whatsoever.

...apparently.

The A50 at High Legh is another ridiculous limit reduction.

The A roads of Cheshire are generally high quality and wide with good,open views. There are some bends, yes, but people have been driving around them for the past century or so.

The 'consultation' notices are apparently placed on lamp-posts on the roads in question before the limit is reduced -so pedestrians can read them, although almost all drivers will be unaware of them. If they do find about about it, only the retired or possibly Cheshire wives will have the time to devote to 'campaigning'.

I'm not sure that a tight twisty road would need a 50 limit either.
