council increase speed limit - 30 to 40

(Bizarrely?) the justification is that the increased limit will make people drive slower in the adjacent 30.

Not everyone's happy of course.

PS Take care tomorrow everyone, it's -3 tonight.

It's so they can speed trap people 'entering a 30mph limit...'

Love the fact the silly bint wants traffic calming because she lives on the road, but the evidence suggests there is no problem. Obviously all these councillors will need to be replaced as they are not towing the goverment line of hating cars and making them unpopular.

Step in the right direction.

[quote=Sandra Roddock]Sandra Roddock lives along the stretch of road that could be increased to a 40mph zone. She said: “The road is used by cyclists, horses and walkers. I’ve been petitioning for years to have traffic-calming measures put in place. Now they want to raise the speed limit. It’s disgusting.”[quote]

I think the term sticking it in and breaking it off, comes to mind!

I noticed a road in Chi the other night - built up & houses on both sides. Parked cars. Narrow. People. Shops. Bus stops. Side roads. 40mph.

Same road 2-3 miles further on: No houses. No lights. No people. No hazards. Apparently open countryside. 40 mph.

Am I missing something???

No, they are. It's called common sense and it abandoned ship long ago.
