These newer signs have been around for some weeks but not reported before.

Without taking note especially, I think the whole line has been done including when in centre and side reservation. I'm certain they are in Queen St with its centre reservation.

As tram speed limits are irrelevant to all but tram drivers, using standard road signs for trams, as others have said, would surely be counterproductive. Clearly a decision to install them was made by somebody totally lacking in commonsense.

The previous tram on which I arrived here from Southport crossed the southbound tram a few hundred metres further away, having just changed drivers at the depot.. It also shows new speed limit signs erected along the line.
