Until Transport for London in the early 2000s this was the A40(M) motorway with a 60mph speed limit. It turned out TfL didn't have power over motorways so they downgraded it to an A road, removed the street lighting and dropped the limit to 40. Don't ask me why, it worked perfectly well for around 40 years exactly as it was but TfL have dropped the speed limit on nearly every trunk road by 10-20mph. The backs of the houses are on Cambridge Gardens.
