HC Deb 22 January 1958 vol 580 c1035
24. Mr. Russell

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the result of moving the 30-miles-per-hour speed-limit sign at the southern approach to Baldock, on A.1, about 500 yards further south; and what tests have been carried out to discover to what extent it is being observed.

Mr. Nugent

I am informed by the police that the speed limit automatically imposed on this length by the installation of street lighting last February has had little or no effect on the speed of vehicles, in spite of numerous prosecutions. We are considering whether it ought to be retained.
