Re: 20mph alternatives

When I lived in Sussex a lot of villagers in Ditchling complained of cars speeding through the place. The police set up speed traps and caught mostly? The villagers speeding through.

Re: 20mph alternat

Small two way roads a 30kph More narrow streets and especially near schools, 20kph (Police will often attend outside schools at opening and closing times). There ...

Re: Highway Code Review for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders

He does make a good point about the imaginary pedestrian crossings. Paint crossing markings at junctions inside the give-way line. I think this may come, in time, be more widespread in general.

Re: Highway Code Review for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders

The situation may be helped by the excellent, and constantly evolving, road network. Probably also helped by the much lower population density, possibly a close enough indicator of relative traffic density. The UK has almost three times as many people per unit of area.
