20mph Speed Limit
Discussion
Are they always 'advised' or are they enforceable? there's one in my village, around the school, and before anyone shoots me down, i just wondered if i could get prosecuted for cruising through at 25mph on my way to work at 6am, i'd not ever flout it when kids are likely to be about.
I've only ever seen them to be 'advised' elsewhere and knowing my local village i wouldn't be surprised if they've left off the part of the sign i've seen everywhere else

Oxford is 20 mph everywhere apart from three 30mph feeder roads. Has made zero difference to my driving style apart from where you get the very rare guy who insiste on sticking to the letter of the law and sticks to 18 or 19 mph.
As far as I can tell its not enforcable. All the speed cameras are on the 30mph roads.

If you watched "Coppers" on Channel 4 on Monday night, you would have seen some police issue £60 fixed penalty tickets for speeding in 20mph zones.
I didn't think they were "real" limits but it would turn out otherwise....
I didn't think 20mph was a real speed limit either ..is coppers like cops with cameras? Always great PR for the police...so they might not be right.I didn't think they were "real" limits but it would turn out otherwise....
Its a fly-on-the-wall look at policing in the UK with pretty honest opinions from the cops being filmed.
Pretty much like Cops with Cameras but less drama and more opinion.
One of the cops issuing a ticket said it was like "shooting fish in a barrel" They were position on the other side of a hump back bridge so people coming over would have seen them at the last minute.
It was a hand held camera, and they were pretty ticket happy....to be fair they had nothing else to do as it was a small town where crime wasn't a big problem.
One woman was actually glad she had been caught cause she thought it was a good idea to have a 20mph limit and it would teach her. I don't think I'd share that thought.
