A purposive approach had to be taken to determining whether a motorist was entitled to protection from conviction under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 s.85(4). Where a local traffic authority had not strictly complied with its duties under s.85(2) of that Act, it was necessary to ask whether the driver had been given adequate guidance as to the speed limit to the extent that the signs on the relevant part of the road did comply with the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002.
