Approaching this junction in a 30 mph zone you are permitted to accelerate to 40 mph before having to stop within 5 metres. After starting off you are again permitted to reach 40 mph within a few more metres before having to brake for the 30mph restriction beyond. All this simply because the intersecting road has a 40 mph limit. Crossroads at Graizelound
