Speed limits

While Rosemary Shaw (Letters, 30 July) has “the pleasure to drive on quiet A and B roads”, maybe it is because these roads do have signs indicating the speed limit.

Even she noted not all keep within the limit on the A9, where surprisingly there are no speed signs at all; it only takes one driver to cause a tragic accident.

If the occasional bit of “street furniture”, as she calls it, helps prevent this and helps to reduce the death rate on this main trunk road then it must be worthwhile.

I wish to reassure Rosemary Shaw that I am fully aware of the UK speed limits.
