@Davriellelouna the 85% rule is still big in England unfortunately. Also, trying to get the Police to agree to enforce reduced speed limits is difficult, and the Government resists attempts by local Councils to take pn responsibility for speed limit enforcement (presumably because they would actually be successful)
