We had the nonsensical situation here of some speed limits being reduced

I know of one road where it had a 60mph speed limit for many years and
was easily usable at that speed in most weather conditions. Then the
60mph signs were replaced by 50mph signs and a speed camera was
installed. Someone made a lot of money from the commuters who knew the
road and drove as they always had done, until the fine dropped through
their letterbox.
