This must be a 'suggested' speed limit otherwise they would have to erected
speed limit signs in every entrance to Liverpool Road for people to obey the
permit speed limit.

Which entrance to Liverpool Road does not have a sign?

There's a road near me where the speed bumps (which are of the two
separate hump variety) are practically unnoticeable if you drive over
the middle of them between the two humps. As a result, everyone drives
over the middle of them (and therefore in the middle of the road) at
30mph.


Longford Street / Drummond Street NW1 is like that.

What is the road that connects Upper Street with Liverpool Road?

But you are right there is a sign from the Holloway Road entrance - how long
has it been there?

From Upper Street you can turn directly into Liverpool Road. I haven't
been through that side recently enough to check if there is a 20 Zone
sign there.

By law though, 20 mph zones have to be "self-enforced" through traffic
calming, so if you were stopped there driving down Liverpool Road at
say 27mph, you could probably contest it successfully in court.
