I WOULD like to know exactly how many people driving along Plodder Lane do so at the correct speed limit, which happens to be 30mph.

Is this a minimum or maximum speed?

I am curious because 80 per cent of the lorries, motorcycles, vans and cars go past our cottage at 40 to 45mph, 15 per cent at 50 to 65mph, and only five per cent at the legal limit.

When entering Plodder Lane from St Helen's Road or Watergate Lane, there are signs clearly displayed stating the speed limit. Am I wrong in assuming this to be 30mph maximum?
