I think that a lot of country roads with a national speed limit are completely unsuitable for driving at anywhere near 60mph and I would agree with that limit being lowered - however, having to drive at 20mph instead of thirty seems a bit ridiculous. That's cutting your speed by a third, which means your journey is going to take a whole lot longer. I think that 30mph gives pedestrians plenty of time to look and make sure there's nothing coming so that they can cross the road safely.
