... but Permanent Speed Restriction is an irrelevant term etc.......
Hello Joseph Locke,
As I said in my original post, unless things have changed radically in the last few years a PSR is a
Permanent Speed Restriction. To the very best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a Permissible Speed Restriction though I am happy to be corrected if anybody has fact to say so. I think what some people posting here are talking about is the ‘Permissible Speed’ of a line in the Rule Book. Also, I tried to give examples of what I was referring to – e.g. speed restrictions on curves, through junctions, or over structures, where speed had to be reduced on every occasion from the persissible line speed, and was acknowledged when a Driver signed for his route knowledge, irrespective of other conditions which may exist.
What flew up my nose more than some folk making up their own definitions was the unnecessary tone of some of the responses to, what I perceived as, a perfectly reasonable question from the individual that started the thread. I emphasise that I am NOT referring to any of your responses to civil questions which, have always been polite and helpful.
The problem I see when people adopt such attitudes, is that people asking questions will stop asking and make their own answers up which does nobody any good.
Anyhow, thanks for your time and for the comment.
G.
