Cast Iron Milepost, A152

The A152 is a small non-primary A-road in Lincolnshire, from Donington to Surfleet linking the A52 and the A16, two major primary routes. Between Donington and Surfleet the road goes through three villages; Church End, Quadring, and Gosberton. To eliminate the number of speeding motorists who use the road for an easy way to get to and from Spalding, there is a speed limit of 40 miles per hour (64 km/h), higher in some places, this is so that traffic flows easier than a 30 miles per hour (48 km/h) speed limit would allow.
