Yes trev ,that's my point near us there is a dead straight roman road with no houses and raised footpath and bike track on one side . Yet 30 km which even local police ignore for now. Totally agree near schools ,shops etc . Just think not enough thought gone into it. Computer say 30km and no one questio s it.I think arouns housing estates and schools 20mph is plenty, then there is thine bendy country roads where 60mph is ok, bonkers, whole thing requires a rethink.
It's from the Daily Fail, they have a reputation to uphold of printing rubbish.Regret, have to say that the article is blatantly wrong.
Has the Corporation put in extra Bus Stops so that the drivers can show their speed never exceeded 20mph, Treev?Some parts of Belfast now have 20mph s limits, main one is around old smithfield & main shopping zones where buses only are allowed.
Because they can.The problem with the 20 limit is it’s incredibly easy to exceed, just the extra concentration required to tackle a busy roundabout or junction usually results in an exit speed above 20.
Living on the Welsh borders we are in and out of wales all the time, often especially when joining major roads from unrestricted side roads I would have no idea what the limit was, the signage often being so infrequent so have always assumed it was 20 until I saw a sign stating otherwise.
It makes the journey truly horrible at times especially with the aggressive abusive behaviour of tailgaters.
I really don’t understand why they introduced this hair brain scheme with no intention or ability to enforce it adequately it just makes those of us trying to comply a bigger target for those that don’t
I'm competely barmy so therefore well qualified, gis a job deciding random stupid too fast too slow speed limits speed limitsI think arouns housing estates and schools 20mph is plenty, then there is thine bendy country roads where 60mph is ok, bonkers, whole thing requires a rethink.
They need a hobby.How much was Wasted on 20 MPH signs
