Shazbut - Eric got in before me!
I have just looked at it and would still ask the same questions I asked before.
What is worse with the example that I gave is if you go out of village in another direction the road is still NSL but it has a poor undulating surface and a narrow pavement adjacent to one side - and has a worse safety record to boot. For those who live in the area the first road is the B5008 from Repton as far as Newton Solney and the second example from Repton to Willington (all South Derbyshire).
I worry that too many examples will result in the following:
From DfT Circular 1/06
22. Indeed, if a speed limit is set in isolation, or is unrealistically low, it is likely to be
ineffective and lead to disrespect for the speed limit. As well as requiring significant, and
avoidable, enforcement costs, this may also result in substantial numbers of drivers
continuing to travel at unacceptable speeds, thus increasing the risk of collisions and
injuries.
