I live near the A5004, Long Hill, between Whaley Bridge and Buxton in the Peak District which is one of the nicest stretch of driving roads in the area. I've just passed the council van changing the speed limit signs from National limit to 50 mph !

This has happened on just about every decent road in Derbyshire - who authorises this ? how can they arbitarily decide that a well surfaced open raod with very few houses on it and no junctions is now not safe at 60mph ?? Especially as there are several small single track roads coming off it which are NSL. I know it doesn't really matter because I rarely paid much attention to the NSL signs, however now if I do get done for speeding my punishment will be worse.

This really annoys me !!!!
