The police can pull you over if you are doing the limit if they think the speed in inappropriate for the conditions. That is probably the reasoning they would want to use in any case.

In Winchester they recently reduced the limit through town to 20mph which is a real pain, especially on some roads. If they reduced on the small side roads but left main throughfare at 30mph that would seem better, to keep traffic on the bigger roads and slow it down on the side roads.
And variable limits, so round schools reduce to 20 during school in/out times but leave at 30 (as appropriate) otherwise.
