Huge benefit for the whole community.
Great news. I think its a huge improvement in the quality of life for all the people living in and around the new 20mph limits. Young people, old people, cyclists, disabled, pedestrians etc, even drivers. Everyone can be encouraged to move around the community with ease. Safer and more relaxed for everyone including drivers. I drive in Highland and really appreciate the chilled nature of the 20mph zones. Micro mobility devices, scooters, bikes, buggys etc, as well as walking are the future inside towns and infrastructure needs to adapt to accommodate them.
In Forres just scrap the 30mph altogether. 20mph everywhere inside town limits.
- Market St, Nairn Rd, Victoria Rd, St Cathines Rd and parts of Grantown Rd should all be 20mph.
- 40mph past the Coop roundabout on Grantown Rd is nuts, should be 20mph or 30mph to the end of the new estates.
- Two playgrounds at Mannachie and Grant Park still have 30mph limits past them, crazy, just make it all 20mph..simples.
- Industrial estates, why arent they 20mph?
- Enterprise Park Forres, what's that 40mph limit about? nuts, make the Enterprise Park 20mph as well.
Don't be fooled by a few loud and angry drivers. Most of the people I speak to are in favour. Its a huge benefit to lots of groups of people whose voices aren't easily heard or understood. The benefits are wide ranging and not easily measured or yet known but will probably reveal themselves in subtle ways much later on.
Thank you for your contribution!
