You state that the speed limit is not a target speed but I disagree. The majority of people will drive at the limit or just above it especially on 30 mph roads. Many drivers will accuse other drivers of being Sunday drivers if they drive below the limit, as shown by some posters on this topic having a go at drivers going below 20.
