It also ignores the potential for local authorities to intervene by introducing crossings, or what existing crossings may exist on many roads.[COLOR="Silver"]
I didn’t say it was impossible, and it depends on how much traffic there is on the road. But it’s certainly more difficult to cross with so much traffic bunched up and moving. I have seen this many times near our local schools.

The increased pollution from slow moving cars should also be taken into account.

Yes, and if you read the newspapers, you will soon see how that’s going down in Wales.

Now the reality of blanket 20mph limit is hitting home, the lesson is to be careful what you vote for.
