50 mph at Arradoul.

If it's deemed that roads close to homes should be 20mph, then why is the 50mph still on the slide plan for Arradoul?

Homes in Arradoul are closer to the A98 than the homes within the towns, yet we have to endure traffic, ignoring the 50 mph speed limit and travelling 60+.

Homes in Auldearn and Alves are around the same distance or further away, yet the speed limit there is 40mph.

There have been many road traffic deaths at either side of Arradoul, including an ambulance crash last year, and a car crashing into a home from the A98 in central Arradoul.

If you are going to limit traffic speed in towns to 20mph, and other small villages have traffic speeds of 40mph, why is Arradoul constantly denied 40mph too? Our homes are:

Nearer to the A98.
Damaged by fast traffic.
People die all the time.

Yet the council steadfastly refuses to lower the speed limit.

You even have the section of road between Portessie and Strathlene Golf Club set as a 40mph zone, despite minimal homes being at the roadside.

Why do we have to endure 50mph traffic (in reality, 60+) whizzing past our homes, but town zones, and other villages are deemed safest at 20mph/40mph?

Please make it make sense.

Nonsense, listen to people's voice and resign from it!

Honestly, I had experienced how 20mph speed limit works in Nairn. It is a nonsense, it does not increase safety at all. All it produces is more pollution and fuel consumption, as cars are spending more time on a journey. And as one of people who had already commented, newer cars think that a driver is tired when slowing down like that. I see Elgin is having 20mph signs already in place. Seriously? The solution for that would be to finally build A96 bypass. But greens believe building a new road causes pollution. Like cars crawling in a 20 mph…

Pointless-Then it will we can save xyz going 15mph

This proposal does not appear to be a practical solution. Similar schemes in other towns and cities have produced mixed results. In Wales, where a nationwide 20 mph limit was introduced, there was significant public backlash and some roads were later reviewed and reverted back to 30 mph. This suggests that a blanket approach is not always the most effective.A common-sense approach would be to keep 20 mph limits where they already make sense, such as around schools, hospitals, and busy residential streets. In other areas, such as new housing developments, it would be more reasonable to reduce limits from…
