Roman Town Houses look remarkably similar to Victorian Country Cottages

Alas I don't have a picture, but I remember in Polson, Montana there was a very big and pretty permanent looking sign saying:

"Neuter your pets, and weird friends and relatives"

As I recall it was next to the "Miracle of America" museum. I don't know if that was connected.

They have similar ones at Joddrel Bank. I think it's 11mph or so ? I guess they make you think about your speed more?

And signs with a green circle are advisory only. They have no legal enforcement, and do not override the ones with the red circle (or the NSL) sign, which indicate the legal limit.

9.75 mph is near enough 15.5km/h; wonder if they meant to permit legal ebikes failing to understand they can go faster under pedal power and got mixed up on the mph / km/h assist limit

 

[DRM]

Seen similar around factories, the reasoning been that they make you take notice of them being a ridiculous speed limit

OK not so much a strange road sign more an odd road name .

In theory, that one is mandatory. And if it is on Highways England property, it probably does class as a road for the purposes of the law.

It's not a special road (presumably), so normal requirements for a TRO would apply. I think they have to be multiples of 10 to be enforceable.

Special roads are a different kettle of fish, as far as I can tell the speed limits on them might even apply to cyclists.

I can't ascertain if the path is a special road, but the M5 definitely is.

The cycle path beside the M48 100% is special.
