Speed limit signs puzzle drivers in Manchester

Motorists were left confused when council workers erected two signs with different speed limits at the entrance to a road.

One sign in residential Stratton Road, Chorlton, Manchester, read 30mph but the other read 20mph.

Resident Harold Lantsberry said: "It's quite ridiculous and I wondered at first whether it's some kind of joke.



"I don't know which speed the council is going to try and enforce, but perhaps it's simply an IQ test for harassed drivers."

Manchester City Council has admitted that a mistake was made installing the signs, which were intended to reduce the speed limit in the road from 30mph to 20mph.

A spokesman for Manchester City Council said: "We are aware that a mistake has been made in the mounting of the signs and it will be rectified as soon as possible."
