20 mph is Sooo Sloooow on this road, no wonder people are driving faster
30mph seems a much better speed limit on this type of road

Former Exeter City Transport bus at Alphington terminus ? 1973
At the time this was the edge of residential development and Shillingford Road was still little more than a country lane. The road has since been widened and the location is unrecognisable. The bus is about to reverse into Fairfield Road on the left before crossing the city to Pennsylvania on route K. Exeter was unusual in using route letters rather than numbers. Exeter sold its municipal buses to Devon General in 1970, and here former Exeter 86, now 286, is seen repainted into the traditional Devon General red and white livery although with fleet name in the standard National Bus Company style. It is a Leyland PD2 with Massey bodywork, new in 1963. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
