The thinking may be sound in major cities but in lesser developed areas it's far easier and cheaper to run an old banger than it is to pay for a taxi every day or to use a public transport.

Taxis are expensive pretty much anywhere.
A taxi trip into Nottingham city would cost me about £15 - £20 (each way).
The bus is about £4 each way, but obviously I have to walk to the bus stop.
(about 15 mins from me, so not great when its raining or icy).
The bus also takes over an hour, a car about 25 mins.

Here in Wales they are soon to increase due to the blanket 20mph speed limit in towns.

Nottingham has those stupid limits all over the place, but no one sticks to them.

The Welsh Arsembly has decided not to put up signs, but have adopted the rule "if there are street lights, the limit is 20mph unless otherwise marked".
More 50mph motorway and dual carriageway limits also coming.

I’m surprised they have the authority to do that. I thought the default speed limits were set down in the Road Traffic Act (and amendments) at Westminster.

Are they also advertising for people who can walk quite fast while carrying a red flag or lantern?

Re: Coronavirus
My street is a 120mph zone-it was 30 until the council interfered and put 20 mph signs up that no one obeys.

Typical Labour, trying to slow everything down to a crawl.
They must be really upset that they couldn’t justify forever Covid restrictions. ‘Control’ is the buzzword for that lot.

Good point, while I suppose your lot are happy to let inflation spiral out of control so before long nobody will be speeding because nobody will be able to afford to put fuel in their cars.
Intact, I'd not be surprised if pretty soon after that only wealthy conservative voters will be able to afford to buy food so the opposition supporters will all die. Problem solved you may say, except it won't be because one of your lot will then have to step up and wipe Charlie's arse for him .

Re: Coronavirus
It’s telling that the COVID thread is now more concerned with traffic than COVID !
