and now it begins...
Unless there are no applications from local councils to raise their speed limit.Drakeford said in interview yesterday, on the beeb, that individual villages and towns can apply to have "their" 20mph limit put up to 30 or more, if they so desire.
So, there'll be no uniformity, and no elimination of existing confusion (if any were present anyway).
Is that CCTV I see in the first picture?and now it begins...
Did you read the quote that you provided?evidence says they achieve not much other than to reduce road capacity.
20 mph speed limits have little impact on crashes, casualties, driver speed | BMJ
Cutting speed limits to 20mph doesn’t seem to reduce collisions, casualties, or driver speed, finds study the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health.www.bmj.com
A typical Welsh village is hardly a city centre.Our findings showed that a city centre 20 mph intervention had little impact on long-term outcomes including road traffic collisions, casualties and speed, except for a reduction in traffic volume. Future 20 mph speed limit interventions should consider the fidelity [enforcement], context and scale of implementation.
No doubt they will have to fund it. until then the speed limit on such dual carriage ways will be 20mph. Get flashed doing 40mph and you are looking at a means tested fine, 6 points / a ban.
Job done.They would take even more notice if they got a fine and points every time they ignored a speed limit!
But they can be enforced even when ignoredSpeed limits have to make sense otherwise they are ignored.
Catching criminal damage over such an area could prove problematical.But they can be enforced even when ignored
Is speeding criminal damage ?Catching criminal damage over such an area could prove problematical.
Not at all relevant.I wouldn't have thought so but apparatus that traps speeders that is out of action makes it a bit harder.
Seems it's something you hadn't thought of.
Who is arguing for it ?Why would anyone want someone to get a driving ban and possibly job loss, for driving at a safe speed for the conditions?
and to confirm - no signage = no enforceable limit.
