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 the councils or governments notice little ill effect. Perhaps the focus should be on pedestrians paying more attention, not looking at their phones and with headphones on. I’m struggling to recollect many incidents in Buckie, where I live, of pedestrians being knocked down by cars. There could also be better enforcement of the current 30mph speed limits as too many motorists do not adhere to it.
