30mph Speed Limit – Church Knowle Village
The 30mph Speed Limit through Church Knowle Village has been approved and will go ahead. The extent of this is shown on the attached plan. While 30mph is still too fast to drive through the village one of the important functions of speed limits and associated signage is to warn motorists that there is a caution – in this case a very pretty Dorset village – ahead.
