He may have survived if the limit was 20 mph. In the road I live in adjacent to a kids school there were five accidents in eighteen months. None since 20 mph was introduced. Lives are being saved, Can I ask how your friend got knocked down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm pretty sure the TF was there before Aldi? Also when Ferguson was elected Mayor there was absolutely NO mention of RPZ in his manifesto - but as executive Mayor he simply implemented it anyway. It's a FU C K I NG disgrace and it still blights BS3 now, with absolutely zero chance of it ever going away. It's nothing more than a regressive tax.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted August 11, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Not sure a speed limit is going to help if you get someone hitting people on zebra crossings. Many of the 20 limits are ridiculous, especially being 24 hour. Cars and pedestrians should be separated, so what are they doing, closing under passes and removing pedestrian bridges....... Some of the 20/30/20 areas along the same stretch of road make no sense at all. One road near me goes from 20 to 30 just as it approaches the busiest junction on it, shortly after it goes to 50 - a single track lane that 25 is taking your life in your hands. If some of the excessive use of 20 could be seen as fair safety, i.e. by schools and shops, fair enough, but some of the roads with good visibility, width and houses only one side, that's a pointless restriction.

Yes sure. Because the breaking and stopping distance improves. The impact of body v vehicle is less. The % possibility of survival at 20 mph is 95%. The % possibility of survival at 40 mph is 5% survive. Intent was not be maudlin. Its the normal stuff here. But the Devil in red trousers also does things that are good.

Wolf Island Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 All new cars should have a remote urban speed limiter installed to keep them below 20mph. All diesel cars and any car over ten years old should be compulsorily scrapped. Anyone found guilty of any motoring offence should have their licence revoked permanently. I will be standing in the next mayoral election on this single issue platform. Vote Ser Davos for a better world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was. Speed limits make people drive slower. People are driving slower. Even the reckless. The arrogant. The stupid. The Selfish. The ignorant. And those who are none of the above but are just fallible and make errors as humans do. That's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
