Default A13: Why the new speed limit?

If I remember correctly, the A13 from between Canning Town and Barking
and beyond used to have a speed limit of 50mph. Why is it that after
extensive improvements to the road this has gone down to 40?


Doesn't stop you getting from Ilford to Tower Hill in ~20 mins!

Speed limits:
Wennington - Dagenham - 70 (temporarily reduced for communications
installation)
Dagenham - Barking - 50 (despite Renwick Road lights westbound and
Gale Street access eastbound)
Barking - Canning Town - 40 (several side roads still access the
main-line)
Canning Town Flyover - 30 westbound (approach to A13 TOTSO and tunnel)
East India Dock Link - 30 (tunnel)
Aspen Way - 40 (one set of lights)
Limehouse Link - 30 (tunnel)

For some reason though the city is still signed via East India Dock
Road/Commercial Road and not Aspen Way/Limehouse Link.
