There's an environmental argument against such low speeds as vehicles simply aren't designed to travel so slowly... Not to mention the fact that localised pollution is increased by virtue of traffic build up.

Lundun being a case in point as localised pollution increases in direct proportion to each drop in traffic speed/flow.

Yet, some motorways have displayed the Matrix boards to reduce the speed limit to 60mph to 'improve air quality' (supposedly)...the M1 near Sheffield being one  ???
That's just ended because......work this one out.....air quality has improved. Now, has it improved because of the speed reduction, in which case why increase it again? Or is it just magic?
If they really want to "Improve" Sheffield they'll need a crane and a wrecking ball. ::)

The same can be said of every city in the UK, including the picturesque southern ones ruled by lentil munchers.

It just needs a government to remove the 20% of un-insured drives, unlicenced drivers and cretin drivers from the roads ,make them use 'public transport'
oops  :-[

One of the 2? Pilot towns was the town 2 miles from me...
Feedback nearly all bad (exceptions of schools / housing estates etc)

I'd love to know what lessons were learned from the feedback.....I'd suggest none, so why pilot in the first place.

To demonstrate some level of consultation.

The qualification is to ask the question, not to regard any of the responses. It's an illusion of democracy.

The way the world actually works is that people with an agenda sponsor puppets into positions of control. Unfortunately, many of those being sponsored, mostly leftists, don't think, or want to ask why they're being sponsored.

Ironically, many of those who complain about this way of doing things are actually Labour voters.

The only way to stop this state of affairs is to either not vote for these sponsored puppets, or if it's too late, hold the puppets to the ultimate account... It's not accidental that Sadie Kahn has a larger protection detail than Dishy... :-X
