Signed at last

I went out to buy some seeds for the allotment today. On the way home deliberately drove home down Hawthorn Avenue in Hull to see the point where Woodcock Street joins it.

I have written to Hull City Council traffic department a few times in the past about that junction. Woodcock Street runs from Hawthorn Avenue to St Georges Road. Hawthorn Avenue has a 30 mph and St Georges Road has a 20 mph limit. There was no speed limit sign at either end of Woodcock Street nor at any point along it, so from St Georges Road you would assume it to be a 20 mph road but from Hawthorn Avenue you would assume it to be a 30 mph road and if you drove onto St Georges Road you would also expect it to be 30 mph until you see a repeater for 20 mph.

Woodcock Street has been part of the substantial redevelopment in the Hawthorn Avenue area, much of which is still under way though Woodcock Street looks to be pretty complete. The council have put a cherry on it by erecting a 20 mph sign at the Hawthorn Avenue end to remove any doubt.

Well done Hull City Council, eventually.
