60mph signs missing.
Sent to North Northamptonshire Council 4 hours, 42 minutes later. ref: 8353208.
When a single carriageway road is separated by a physical separation, it effectively becomes a dual carriageway and the traffic speed limit changes to a higher speed limit, in this case 70mph which is not satisfactory when you have traffic joining it from the central reservation from stationary. I have attached a picture of a similar situation at Wansford which is controlled by National Highways.

Investigation: Ongoing - Thank you for your enquiry. The legal speed limit on this road is unrestricted (national speed) and therefore the signage in place is correct in line with Department of Transport advice at this time. However, we note your concerns related to the speed of traffic. The Speed Limit Review Panel will consider your comments in the next meeting and discuss if it would be appropriate to reduce the speed here, which requires a change in the Traffic Regulation Order. We will update you once the panel has discussed this. To see more about the Panel and what evidence will be considered during review, please follow this link: https://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/ road-safety/ speed-limits-control-and-community-speed-watch
