If I remember correctly, the A13 from between
Canning Town and Barking and beyond used to
have a speed limit of 50mph. Why is it that after
extensive improvements to the road this has
gone down to 40?

Because it increases the camera revenue??

Correct. The only way that upgrading roads to 70mph quality can be justified
financially is if the new road has cameras busting everyone going over 40.

Are you saying that there are gatsos all over the place now? Sounds
like a cash grab and ripoff. Lots of corruption out of control.
