As a Reading resident I totally agree, the traffic here is terrible, especially with all the morons going shopping between now and Christmas…
Avoiding it a serious business for some, hence I would welcome a 20 limit for my own part of town which is often used as a rat-run at rush hours. I would also like to see them expand the rental bike scheme to cover parts of town where people actually live. The transport mix here is all to cock.
Unfortunately it sounds like any town or city that tries to make changes, like Bristol, gets hit with a tidal wave of indignant clarksonites…
Question: Have the local authority surveyed the local residents about the impact of the limit changes?
Petitions (which anyone can sign) are all well and good, but surely the primary goal is to benefit the local residents, their opinions should carry more weight IMO has that been sought?…
