Distance
1
Speed limit approaching Sandbach
The 30mph limit has started at this point on Congleton Road as long as I can remember (1970s) although these signs look newer. At that time it marked the start of the built-up area, but is now illogically placed as housing has spread further out: it would be better to start the urban speed limit at the turning off the bypass.

"Slow down" road markings
The speed limit reduces from 40mph to 30mph at this point entering Sandbach. Triangular markings on the road are intended to reinforce the message of the signage and electronic reminder.

Unusual sign by Doddington Drive
The sign forbids horse riding, cycling and golf practice in the open space off Doddington Drive. Cycling, I can understand, but horses must be pretty rare here, and the specific reference to golf is unusual. See Image for context.

Doddington Drive
Doddington Drive was originally a short, dead-end road like others on the Offley estate (hence the turning area in the photo), but when the adjacent Parkhouse estate was built, it was extended through to link the two.
