No Blanket Limit

I have worked in Wales for the last two years where they have just backtracked on their blanket 20mph limit. The limit should only be enforced in areas of high pedestrian activity such as schools, medical service centres, city / town centres or individually identified as needing this limit. Not the entirety of Moray’s streets. Very few would actually benefit from this change.

The cost of replacing the 30mph signs doesn’t even make sense for a council that are already struggling to keep their head above water. Maybe our million pound brown bin subscriptions are paying for this.

Cars are safer than ever. New cars come with speed limiters, excess speed bings, pre-crash bonnet arming for pedestrian impact and the most common, cameras that won’t even let you hit someone! There are so many sensors on cars the risk is actually reducing itself. 20mph isn’t the solution to a non existent problem.

Do the people who come up with these ideas actually drive more than 1000 miles a year or do they just drive to work from the big scary town centre so have no experience, just pen pushing ideas.
