You’d assume that the high number of offences in Flintshire was because of its proximity to England, and therefore drivers who are less aware of the 20 limit, but then Powys recorded none.
I suppose the fact Flintshire borders a more highly populated area of England might have something to do with it.
Ngl, I do it daily. Stupid rule, poorly executed. Everyday I drive through an area that goes 50, 30, 20, 60 within 100m. Who wanted this?
> “Residents on one of the worst streets for 20mph breaches say the blanket approach doesn’t make sense.”
Wow, BBC Wales uncharacteristicly off message here, seeing as the midwits running the assembly spent more time trying to censor its members, utterly absurdly, from using the word “blanket”, inside and outside the chamber, than they spent time considering the policy itself. Quite funny to see the BBC using the term so cavalierly in its subtitle here. Fully expect to see them drop it when they’re pulled up on their deviant speech crime in due course though.
Just to point out Gors Avenue runs through the middle of a housing estate and has a primary school and nursery on it. These people are upset they can’t speed down the road at whatever speed they wish given the speed cameras were originally set for 30mph down there.
Did the BBC purposefully choose a selection of the oddest people or is it just a bit of an odd street?
Probably shouldn’t say this but we only drive at 20mph when an English person is around
Who could have seen this coming?
Sounds like a stupid rule in that case.
and how’s the accidents / fatalities compare?
I was one of them, just got sent into the local fire station to watch a video.
Since it’s been 20mph I’ve been overtaken on residential streets several times by people refusing to do the speed limit.
I’m not sure if accidents have declined but I’d guess that road rage incidents have gone up considerably.
