80 is the new 70.

I just got through reading an entry on Shellys Opinions about the possible rising of the speed limit on motorway to 80 instead of 70.

This strikes me as a good plan, lots of people cruise about 10mph over the designated speed limit in almost any zone, but will this mean that people will end up cruising 10 mph over the 80 limit? If so it just seems to be getting more dangerous as time goes by.

New Malden High street has just been made a 20mph zone, and has adapted padestrian friendly pavements (the ones that are the same level as the road, which i don't think is too friendly) With a happy new slogan... 20's plenty. But now trying to down the high street in under 15 minutes is a push as the traffic keeps mounting.

Surely however if the speed limit does get increased it will have been a waste of money putting all the speed camera's in, although im sure they are easy to change the settings, well you'd think they would be anyway.

The new introduction of average speed camera's on motorways are not pleasing to many drivers at the moment either. Are they just a trap to make money out of careful but speedie drivers or do they keep people safe? Answer on a postcard at CourageousChicken.blogspot.com
