00:00Yeah, I think there's some roads which make sense. I think those which are perhaps linking
00:08to areas, industrial areas, roads which kind of run adjacent to some more residential areas
00:16but there's not direct sort of pedestrian access.
00:19I think if one's going to do it, they should all do it really, just to give some sort of
00:23uniformity throughout the country. But it's sort of astounding that they went ahead with
00:31this with what seemed like a very short period of not real consultation.
00:37No, 20 miles an hour is all right. Yeah, saves lives. No need to go any faster. Average speed
00:47made by all vehicles, say for instance, in London long before this, is 12.5 miles an hour.
00:55So, why do you need to go faster?
00:59I think they just need to pick their lane. They just need to work out saying that it needs to be all of one
01:03or all of the other. Where I live, I go from a 20 to a 30 to a 20 to a 30 in the space of half a mile.
01:08Just pick one or the other. I do agree 20 is safer in the right areas, but driving 100 yards 20
01:14and then 100 yards of 30, you just need to pick your lane because I think it's going to cause more problems.
01:18I think when it first came out, the map that they put on the website wasn't particularly clear
01:23because I think those which were still 30 just led to everybody creeping along and I think all those frustrations built up.
01:31And now they're reversing it. I mean, it kind of, I didn't like it personally as a motorist,
01:37but I think if you've done it, just stick with it, you know, seems weird.
01:42You're constantly looking at the signage as opposed to concentrating on the road and what's in front of you.
01:46You're worrying about what speed you're going. You actually want to just look at the road and see what's in front of you,
01:50especially run by schools. If someone's kid's going to nip out, you want to make sure, you know,
01:54I'm not staring at signs to make sure I'm going the right speed. So just pick the lane.
