Totally agree. We have had two years of roadworks here, making a dual carriage way into town. 5 and a half miles , with a limit the length of it of 40mph. Trouble was it was joining an existing dual carriage way and of course what was happening was some ( lots) of drivers, seeing the 40 signs and slamming on the anchors causing accidents
The 40 signs started half a mile from the actual real start of works and once in the works zone you might then drive 3 miles before you got to the area they were actually on. This caused even more frustration for some so once out of the zone it was once again foot to the metal and perhaps another accident waiting to happen further up the road
