Richmond Bridge now reduced to 30mph. Old 40mph signage simply removed and no advisory signage of change. Lamposts mean 30mph, but that's a really stty tactic. They'll be people driving that bridge for 10 years that weren't even born when the last change was made.
Clearly a revenue grab.

Only if it is enforced.

Surely there has to be at least one new speed limit sign or the last sign that you did pass is the speed limit?

I think what he means is that you used to come from a 30 limit into a 40 limit. Now the 40 has been reduced to 30, so you come from a 30 into a 30 (although it used to be 40) so there would be no need for a new speed limit sign.
Although as the last 30 sign that you did pass could have been many miles away I can see why it might catch a lot of people out, especially if they were used to the 40.

This is a common tick on some of the roads I use regularly, expect a 1-2 week grace period then regular "safety" vans for "safety enforcement" ( money grab)

Surprised they haven't reduced it to 20 as everywhere else on the south side seems to be that.

Luckily my away trips to hockey at Quintin Hogg, Barnes and Dukes Meadow are hopefully over now my son will be going to uni next year.
