Reduced 50 limit on the A515 - Buxton - Ashbourne
Discussion
Heads up everybody - I'm writing a letter of complaint as a 50 limit on this road (especially Buxton - Newhaven) is innapropriately low. And yes, it does get scammed on the straightest overtaking bits.
Council Plan 50 limit on Entire A515
Derbyshire County Council plan to reduce the speed limit on the entire length of the A515 from Buxton via Ashbourne to Sudbury from NSL (60) to 50 mph, except where it is already lower.
This is a superb driving road and, while the quality does vary, it contains some of the straightest and best-aligned sections of single carriageway rural A-road in the country. Reducing this entire road to a 50mph limit is a total absurdity, and symptomatic of the council's fanatical and irrational obsession with reducing speed limits.
Objections to the proposal, stating the reasons for the objection, should be sent in writing by 16 February 2007 to:
