GSV is October 2024 - obviously may have changed… A site visit mandatory to even consider challenging.

Title: NIP 29 in a 20 - contradictory signage
Post by: a046 on May 08, 2026, 06:52:56 pm

Hello all,

Got an NIP for 29 in a 20, heading eastbound here on Armada Way:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/u6fUS859BJNW2N997

(Bit of a silly place for a 20 limit but ho-hum)

I drive around here very often and come at it from multiple approaches at the nearby (Gallion's Reach) roundabout, so not sure which path I took this time.   Most likely I came off either Gallions Road or Royal Albert Way, both of which are 40 mph.

From Gallions Road in particular there's a 30 mph sign here at the roundabout entrance:

But I don't think there's another 20 mph sign before Armada way, and I can't find one on Street View.

From Royal Albert Way there is a 20 mph sign at the entrance here:

Which obviously conflicts with the 30 mph at the Gallions Road entrance.

There is a roundel here on Armada way:

But not sure how much weight that holds with the conflicting signage.

Thoughts?  Not sure if Newham publishes TROs online somewhere, but I'll try to find it.
