Re: Rising cost of living
Around here (in Leeds) it was mostly residential minor roads, and the justification was the research that showed if there was a car/child interface scenario, at 20MPH the child had a 80% chance of survival, and at 30MPH it was reduced to 20%.

The chumps who keep restricting the speed you can travel at won't be happy until it’s 5mph with a bloke in front waving a red flag.

Another thing that has appeared here are "School Zones" that are closed to all traffic when the kids will be around. Cameras monitor for fines to be issued.
They are still active during school holidays "to avoid confusion". |

People drive at 40 in a 20 zone as well.

The city council is full of anti car muppets, and has been for a long while. Their latest brilliant plan is to close the main road that links east Nottingham to West Nottingham, making it much harder to get from one side of the City to the other. It used to be a good place to drive to, park, and then shop, but these days Id tell anyone to stay away from the City, carry on up the motorway to Meadowhall, or even {cough} Derby. I rarely travel into Nottingham now, mainly just to get to the Showcase. |

Besides, round here the 20mph zones are heavily policed. Exceed them at your peril. |
Re: Rising cost of living
I can understand the 20mph in the area of schools, but anywhere else seems silly to me.
Furthermore, the Govt. should issue new guidance for pupils leaving school: Look Right, Look Left, Look Right again. If you don't see the family 4x4 double parked within 4 meters of the school gate, please wait patiently until it arrives. ;) |
