Most of the nearby residents directly affected by the road have
probably already been paid a share of our taxes to have double
glazing installed,
if
they don't already have it. Perhaps the limit should be 70mph as
the road designed for. That would mean motorists could save
nearly a quarter of an hour using your figures.

What on earthe makes you think it was designed for 70mph? It is
effectively a new road, so I expect it was in fact designed for
the new speed limit.

It seems very much to me like a road designed for at least 50mph. It's
very similar to 50mph sections of the A406. In fact I would even say
it's better suited to 50mph than some of those sections of the A406.
I'd also say it's better suited to speeds of 50mph than it used to be
when the speed limit was 50! Compare this to some 40mph roads like the
A1020 going down from the junction with the A13 and A406 past the Royal
Docks and I think it's clear that the A13 is suited to and designed for
speeds much higher than 40mph.
