ILLEGAL '30' speed signs have appeared on the A438 Whitecross Road in Hereford.

Herefordshire Council/Balfour Beatty Living Places warn that even if well intentioned the signs are not legal and could be dangerous.

They say traffic and taxpayers will now be inconvenienced when the markings are removed.
