By Matt MurrayBBC News
One road in Wales now has eight speed limit changes in less than two miles following the switch to 20mph.
The A4222 in Aberthin, Vale of Glamorgan, includes stretches of 40mph and 60mph in the space of 1. 8 miles (2. 9km).
It Follows from 30mph to 20mph in September.
One 30mph stretch in The Village just outside Cowbridge is 520ft (160m) and each new road sign costs £1,000 to fit.
Aberthin villager Christine Williams said: " It's a complete anomaly, it makes no sense whatsoever. "
Vale of Glamorgan council said the A4222's speed limits were in accordance with Welsh Government legislation, but it would add it to a " review list".

Mobile car body shop owner Paul Jarvis said: " Everyone seems totally confused and baffled by it.
" I understand it's safer to have a 20mph speed limit through The Village and outside The School , but having so many changes doesn't feel safe and feels over The Top for the cost. "
The Council said all changes to make roads 20mph were based on the criteria previously used to designate them as 30mph, " specifically The Presence of street lighting".
It added: " All new default 20mph roads and those that have remained at 30mph will be reviewed after a suitable bedding in period has passed.
" The Council will add the above location to its list of sites to review. These will be assessed against additional Welsh Government guidance once it is available. "
