Yes, because motorists are stuck behind vehicles doing 20mph. Lower speed limits = increased congestion, more frustration, and increased emissions.

Seems to make sense to the greenies and anti-car morons.

After dark when the police have gone home speed limits are totally disregarded where I am. 20 mph wouldn't be needed if there weren't so many behind the wheel, who see nobody outside their metal bubble. It's an increasingly selfish society and this is just one of the symptoms.
So how do you think the 20mph limits will slow down the speeders when 30mph doesn’t?

A bit of muddled thinking there!

Of course they are! Adjusting speed limit signs downwards will not change that behaviour - in fact it will increase the number of motorists viewing the signs as being irrelevant.
