Speed Limit Decreased - Centenary Way

[Neal]

Driving up Centenary Way today towards Manchester Road I noticed that there are now large 30mph signs when it used to have small 40mph ones. Only as I was nearing the roundabout passing the turnoff for Finsley Gate I saw one small 40mph one.

Is this a temp measure does anyone know or is it all to be 30mph? I really think it should be due to it being a busy pedestrian area.

I noticed when I was in tesco yesterday there are some new enrty and exits out on to Centenary Way, nearer to the bowling alley than the current traffic light entrance. Maybe it's all part of the master plan ?

And the correct answer is ;

Thanks for that Neal, I use Centenary Way everyday and had not noticed that, enough problems watching other road users, on Friday last week I was undertaken by a scooter rider with "L" plates on passing myself in the outside lane and another car in the nearside lane, he then did it against other vehicles approaching the Kierby roundabout before going up Yorkshire street, he will not live long if he continues that habit.

I got overtaken a while back on there by some joker on a scooter doing a wheelie . I was quite impressed, although somewhat nervous of him coming off and crashing into me.
