Beware, the 20mph ban will change daily travel patterns
• AT the risk of upsetting road sign manufacturers, I feel I should jump to the defence of Tim Newark. In your letters page, Andrew Myer has accused Mr Newark of scaremongering with his forecasts of extra 20mph road signs (Fewer signs up ahead, October 9). However, on this occasion, Mr Newark was merely echoing the threats the council had expressed in a public consultation brochure.
The council’s exact words were: “We will install 20mph signs at road entrances and at regular intervals along the roadside.” I was quite shocked to see this because, like Mr Myer, I expected a blanket 20mph scheme to result in fewer road signs, not more. > more |
