Yes. I think people get fed up with speed limits left in place with nothing happening. Driving to work this morning on the A52 in Notts, I come across two huge 40mph signs and some yellow Highways Agency signs. Some cones on the verge, nothing on the carriageway and no workmen or vehicles anywhere. People were initially slowing down, then speeding up again. The area is covered by permanent Specs cameras - so has the computer already been reprogrammed from 60mph to 40mph? Here's the best part - I didn't see any roadworks end / 40mph limit cancelled sign! If Highways Agency used temporary speed limits sensibly, people might just take more notice of them!
