    [quote quote=97569]I don’t think having a lap dance club close to student accommodation is a very good idea.

    [/quote]

    Why not, some of the student’s may want to go. I’m not interested in lap dancing myself but if people want to go
    I have no problem with that. Don’t think it will lower the tone of the town either.

    Legal definition[edit]
    In August 2006, the Department for Transport issued new guidance relating to speed limits. It states that:[1]

    Section 82(1)(a) (of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (RTRA 1984)) defines a restricted road in England and Wales as a road which is provided with “a system of street lighting furnished by means of lamps placed not more than 200 yards apart”. Section 81 specifically makes it an offence for a person to drive a motor vehicle at a speed of more than 30 mph on a restricted road.

    “Street lighting” is further defined as follows:

    As set out in paragraph 45, it is generally recognised that a ‘system’ of street lighting could be three or more lamps spaced not more than 183 metres apart. However, street lighting (for the purposes of determining whether or not a road is a restricted) is not necessarily limited to street lamps, but may extend to lighting provided by authorities or parish councils.

    To avoid confusion that could arise if some 30 mph zones were ‘street-lit’ and some were not, DfT guidance goes onto say:

    Direction 11 of The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 (TSRGD 2002) defines the requirements for the placing of speed-limit repeater signs. This states that speed-limit repeater signs cannot be placed along a road on which there is carriageway lighting not more than 183 metres apart and which is subject to a 30 mph speed limit. The Department will not make exceptions to this rule.

    This leads to the conclusion that:

    This means it should be assumed that, unless an order has been made and the road is signed to the contrary, a 30 mph speed limit applies where there are three or more lamps throwing light on the carriageway and placed not more than 183 metres apart.

    Doe’s make sense

    [quote quote=97113]I’ve been on the speed awareness course and we were told that any road with regular street lighting has a default speed limit of 30 mph unless signs indicate otherwise.

    Anyway on the subject of both bridges both should have solid white lines and the road narrowed either by central cross hatching or by widening the footpaths, in addition to no overtaking signage.

    Alternatively a 40mph speed limit with speed cameras on both ends of the bridges.

    I have been on a course as well and was told the same thing.

    [quote quote=95237]Mountains and molehills spring to mind. At least they offer a bit of colour to the intrinsic dullness of the place.

    New Benefits street.

    Actually, they appeared to be perfectly respectable people giving their views.

    It was meant to be a laugh. Are you trying to say all the people on benefit street are not respectable.
