The last few weeks my commute time into London has increased !
Not because we moved …. It’s because a lot of the roads are becoming 20mph limits
AND there are camera’s !!
My questions about the benefits of having a 20mph limits include…
Traffic lights were synched for 30mph limits …. So now i have stop any almost every set of traffic lights causing more pollution
Im driving in a lower gear so effectively causing more pollution ….
Im at a standstill more … causing more pollution
Lower speed and lower revs mean battery isn’t charging as much as it used to
If I’m at 20mph there will be someone driving closer to the rear of my vehicle
If someone ran into the road while I was driving at 20mph, I could possibly stop…. But at 30mph …. I would be a mile further down the road and miss them altogether !!
I completely understand in areas where it is built up residential / school areas / high pedestrian flow areas ….
Back in the day, we knew cars would be driving 30mph and we were careful around traffic
Accidents are caused by carelessness and idiotic behaviour …..
