Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
As with most legislation, it's a blunt instrument. For example, I often ride through Coedpoeth, the small town near Wrexham, on the way to into North Wales.
The main street is very narrow with a school, lots of shops, and lots of pensioners trying to cross the road without looking. A 20 limit is absolutely the right thing there.
But as you leave the town, the current 30 limit (which will become a 20) extends for over a mile into open countryside with nothing but a couple of farms. There's absolutely no need for that section of road to be a 20.
