Limits are pointless

Speed restrictions of 40mph have recently been placed on the road from the Dawley Roundabout to the Old Park Road roundabout. Why?

Yes, the traffic did go down there at high speed, and there have been accidents, but all the work done has had no effect as drivers' habits have not changed - they just ignore the limits.

Mossey Green Way has been 40mph for more than a year now. I travel down it every day and have been overtaken.

The same happens on the newly-restricted stretch of road from the Beverley Roundabout down to the junction with the A442. Is anyone enforcing it? If not, why bother to do the work?
