Does the 40mph limit on the A13 annoy you? (Lakeside)

[VISE]

As the title says: it pisses me off SO much, IMO it was much better at 70...

Idiots sitting in the both lanes at 35 etc, lorries sitting in the outside lane! There's a whole lot more, but anyone else prefer the old NSL?

Im with you! Just cant see why its a 40, not the regular 50. I drive along some small single lane carriage ways with a 40 limit, if thats fine, then why cant a main A road like the a13 handle 50 fsafely anymore......

It's a 40 whilst the works are in place. I think this is standard practice when workers are in such close proximity to moving traffic. I can understand and appreciate why they do this - ever had to change a wheel at the side of the road on a fast moving carriage way? It's f*%king scarey!

What jacks me off even more is the fact that when it's all finished, it will only go back up to a fifty limit and the cameras are staying

Oh, and by the way, the cameras are certainly working. One of my workmates got done for doing 47mph and ended up on a speed awareness course. Cruise control is my friend

All cage drivers do all of that no matter what the speed limit is the whole length of the A13. Plus the Canvey drivers still haven't stopped getting in the outside lane at Tower Bridge in anticipation of turning right in 30 miles at Sadlers Farm....

Main issue I find isn't so much the limit but the massive number of people who cut in at the last minute when it drops from 3 to 2 lanes & also as you get to the M25 the left had lane is blocked solid with people trying to get to the M25 & again who cut in at the last minute
