I'm a Tom Scott subscriber, so I just saw this come up on my feed and immediately recognised Bez's name and his excellent original article.

Just a reminder, if everyone likes the video and adds a comment, it massages the youtube algorithm and helps it go viral.

It's currently at 1,130,082 views and is #28 on Trending - so doing pretty well!

20mph zones are different: no signage or lighting at all is required in those.

Pretty simple then. Make the last 50 metres or so a 20mph limit. You've got to stop so slowing to 20 shouldn't be an issue

If people ignore the Stop sign then they'd ignore a very short "pointless" 20 limit.

But then you put in the chichane/build out.

Ignore the reduction in speed and you get to explain to your insurance co/mr plod why you came to write your car off, not why you came to squash a cyclist/motorcyclist/T-bone another vehicle.
