Because LCN is a Sustrans numbering system. A cycle path with no number can
be created by the council or community group. I imagine there are politics
& funding involved.

I haven't seen speed limit signs on the road. South Road is a blooming
dangerous A road with side roads only being used for occasional traffic.
The college residents are students that walk along the really narrow
