Summary
Leicestershire’s brand-new Pork Pie Way, costing £131 million and taking nearly a decade to build, is already a speeding hotspot—police pulled over drivers going 70mph in a 40mph zone. Some motorists claimed the road “looked like” it allowed higher speeds, even mistaking street lamps for speed limit indicators. Officers reminded them: signs, not lamps, set the rules. With summer approaching and road accidents on the rise, police stress that ignoring posted limits endangers everyone—and this new road, meant to ease congestion around Melton, needs drivers to pay attention to the actual signs, not assumptions.
