DIY 30mph signs urging people to drive slowly are illegal and should be taken down.
According to a statement issued today (Monday) by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police: “We have been made aware of a few incidents where 30mph posters have been put up along streets on the Island.
“We would like to remind people that placing posters that look like 30mph signs, or say ‘30 slow down’ on roads where there are street lights, is unlawful and could have an impact on the enforcement of the speed limit.
“We would also ask people not to place these posters on vehicles as this could confuse motorists when the vehicles are moving through different speed zones.”
