Pilot plan for 20mph speed limit on country roads

[RichB]

Yet more moronic proposals for 20mph speed limits. Councillor basically saying that because they get people riding scrambler bikes and nicking cars we should all suffer, what a complete knob.

I said this is SP&L, but it seems that the root of their problem has nothing to do with speed limits. It's just an easy headline grabber for the council(lors) to use to try and make it seem like they're addressing the problem.

I look forward to seeing their proposals once this fails.

Its a pilot that's been approved across approx 80 sq. miles isnt it? As in, its happening. Coldharbour being mentioned in news articles and Ive heard areas like Peaslake/Winterfold being limited too.

Completely unnecessary and utterly infuriating, what absolute morons.

People who are happy at driving 60mph round these roads will continue to do so regardless of the limit. What's more annoying is people who insist on driving in the middle of the road down these lanes. 2 cars will in many places fit comfortably yet people wait until the very last moment to move over and get annoyed that they have to move.

I wont be sticking to it
