[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1184000, member: 70552"] I think it sets a bad precedent in terms of implementation for the rest of the country. Where I live there are very few 20mph speed limits. And I’m in an urban area. One road that is 20mph I cycle on is one of the few shortest routes to next largest town. Constantly get close passed on it by impatient drivers and cars parked narrowing the road. If it was up to me I would make the road an LTN. But again we have few of those where I live north of London. Attended a meeting regarding local plan for my area and the lack of protected cycling infrastructure. We have only 5 dedicated protected cycle paths, one LTN. Just got fobbed off that they are working on it but website is not yet up and running. The focus was more on housing and employment. With the state of the roads largely due to severe underinvestment and most likely drivers paying tax based on emissions rather than road use and 60% tax on fuel, it’s difficult to see what the plan is country wide on how to reduce car use and contribute to net zero.
