Re: New toy blackbird
Even the C90 will be too fast if they bring in the 10mph limit in Manchester

Re: New toy blackbird
The 20 is bad enough there's s long straight road after the industrial estate in chessington used to be 40 now its 20 ,about half a mile ,no houses ,it's the lib demo and labour doing it around here ,even a dual carriageway is 20
I'm thinking of getting into track days if it carries on

Re: New toy blackbird
I've got no problem whatsoever with the 20mph limits in Wales.
If people don't like it then, tough.
Riding through the slower limits is pure joy and a delight in the knowledge that it will, no doubt, save some lives.

Re: New toy blackbird
20 is fine in some built up areas or near schools but few of the roads they are doing it to really make no sense at all.

Re: New toy blackbird
That's a good point and if some areas have been knocked down to 20mph for no valid reason then that's stupid.
Around here there are some "zones" that have been changed from 20mph back to 30mph. I think this readjustment will continue for a while until the true "vulnerable" 20mph areas are established.

Re: New toy blackbird
The reasoning is pollution not RTA reduction. The roads referred to have frequently exceeded the legal limits for air quality (40 micrograms of NO2 per m3.)knapdog wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 7:33 pmThat's a good point and if some areas have been knocked down to 20mph for no valid reason then that's stupid.

They aren't legally enforceable speed limits but will be subject to traffic calming measures to reduce speeds, hence reduce pollution and discourage traffic from entering the city centre.
