20 mph speed limits

Surely they're going to encourage drivers to concentrate on their speedometer rather than the road.

Just a thought.

They are just plain stupid.

I work regularly in London and have no choice but to drive from site to site due to my job (Public transport not an option), it's made the roads more dangerous for everyone in my opinion, the drivers and pedestrians are frustrated and more risks are taken. Just like ULEZ and Smart Motorways, the Country has gone mad!

all the roads on my estate are 20mph ..... no one takes a blind bit of notice, despite the speed humps.

Thing is it's loads of roads and key routes in London, you know, the place where there's a camera every few metres to charge the motorist for one thing or another...

20mph limits are spreading like a plague, particularly in Wales where soon it will be quicker to get around on a sheep!  :o  :P ;D

 I only drive at 20mph on our estate due to the amount of kids and to be ready for the racing 4 x 4 mums who have not one bit of care for anyone or anything else in their pursit to get rid of the kids and sit in the gym drinking coffee

There was a consultation to make our estate 20mph.

As I pointed out, at the minute it's 30mph, and as most people drive around at anything between 40 - 60 mph, spending a fortune putting up 20mph signs won't make a blind bit of difference.
