Well, thats just exactly why I asked where you lived. My place is in a closed loop crescent where the residents have steadfastly refused to accept streetlights being installed. TVBC are not happy about this, they have been trying for thirty years or more to install them, but they have to get a majority of the residents to agree to it. Which we wont. So as a punishment, there is no speed limit in my road on the grounds that it is not a built-up area as there are no streetlights, therefore the national speed limit applies. The ludicrous result of this is that you can come off the motorway, half a mile later drive down a 40mph zone, then turn into my tiny residential road in which you could legally travel at 60mph.
