No problem. Make roads like that 30mph by all means, then restore all the NSLs in the middle of nowhere which have been made 50mph and even 40mph over the last 15 years for no reason other than to persecute motorists, and raise the motorway speed limit to 80mph. Deal? Thought not. "Think of the children" my foot.
