Findochty speed change proposal.

I have read about the proposal to change the majority of Findochty to a 20mph zone which i completely agree with, but there is no point in wasting money on new signs for them to be ignored. Findochty speed limit already gets ignored especially at school times as there is no enforcement of the speed limit so it would make no difference for the limit to be reduced. Until the speed limit is actually enforced it would simply be a waste of time and money on new signs.

Does not tackle the main issue

I have driven through many of the 20mph areas en route to Inverness recently, I havenoticed that regardless of the 20mph signs most still travel at 30 mph, this renders the limits useless. On top of that the villages within moray already have 30mph yet again these are ignored as people have been seen driving at much higher speeds even around school areas because they know they can get away with it. There are no speed cameras nor police presence through these areas…

Not good for business.

This National Strategy is completely flawed and Moray Councils hands are now tied to try and deliver it. As a regular driver in Aberdeenshire I’ve seen impact the 20mph limit has had on the Banff/Macduff route. It’s nearly all 20mph limit from the West side of Banff to the industrial estate at the East end of Macduff. It takes ages to transit that section at 20mph and very few drivers adhere to it as far I can see. It will be local businesses and self employed that will suffer, adding time and money onto their day while those employed in…
