Boris Johnson Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 We dont need speed limits though, we need better drivers.............................. If anyone can let us know where we find these better drivers please let the us all know. In the meantime lets put a 50 in place and some average speed cameras. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Flint Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) So many of these ‘speeding issue’ areas could be transformed with velocity controlled traffic lights as they have in Portugal. Kirk Michael is a good example. Two more crossings at each end of the village and convert the one by the shop. Approach at more than whatever the set limit is and they change to red. People soon modify their behaviours Edited November 23, 2020 by Derek Flint 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed and replaced with Pelicans. Traffic flows more smoothly and seems just as safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People transiting are mainly locals and the VC notices “luces controllada per radar” signs went. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
