    Why would to need cruise control under 40kph?

    The very fact it is signed so low should be a signal to the driver that this is an area which requires an increase in attention paid to surroundings.

      Because otherwise you’ll likely end up either speeding or constantly staring at the speedo…

        Perhaps that is a driving habit that needs to change? 20mph is a maximum, not a minimum. If you drive with ±3mph variance, target 17.

      You answered your own question. So I can concentrate on my surroundings rather then having to try to precisely control the speed of a car that’s not in TCC lockup.

        You don’t have to precisely control the speed, just keep it between 0-20mph. Your speed should be dynamic based on what is coming up anyways. Are you just turning on cruise control from the intersection and leaving it until you brake the next time?

        I have never even considered using cruise control on anything other than a highway. Am I the one driving wrong?

        Skill issue! I have no problem maintaining low speeds in my car lol. Honestly, for the safety of those around you, please take a driving course so you can safely practice driving at low speeds.
