Default Reducing speed to 20mph ‘created more deaths than injuries’ but council can’t afford to scrap them

They are talking of 20mph zones. A 20mph speed limit can be reversed
simply by issuing the necessary traffic order and removing the signs. A
20mph zone has to be designed to be self-enforcing, which means lots of
traffic calming measures.


Â*Â*It doesn't have to be: all of the recent 20mph zones in Lancashire just
have new signs on poles....


Are you sure they are 20mph zones, which have the word ZONE under the 20mph
speed limit sign at the start of the zone, and not simply areas with a
20mph limit, which don't have the word ZONE and, if long enough, will have
20mph repeater signs?


Most people, including metro reporters would refer to them as zones.
Lancashire refer to them as areas; BathNES refer to them as rural areas.
