13 #European mayors wrote the Financial Times to highlight the worrying trends of central governments restricting local authorities from setting speed limits.
"National policies like there, based not on science but political expediency, harm the ability of local authorities to take decisions on improving the safety and health of their citizens.

I wish they would picket the road I live on to make the buggers who race through at 40mph+ slow down to 20. I've nearly been crashed into more times than I can count! #20IsPlenty
Reminder that a device which makes cars obey the speed limit could cost $50 each and be plug-and-play for the vast majority of cars. Do it at registration renewal and we'll have them all finished in 2yrs.
> the cushions are easy to avoid — especially for larger, wider vehicles that make up an increasingly larger portion of the fleet — and many people simply go over them without slowing down at all.

#DirtRally2 is like "Own an Expensive Car Simulator 2023"
Driving a #Chevrolet#Camaro makes me realize that people who do can't see SHIT! The bottom of all the windows come up to eye level. You can just barely ever see anything that's above the horizon.

My new hobby is walking down my residential street where people drive too fast and crossing at every intersection just when a car is coming in order to force them to stop.
In the old, old days of cycling cross country (it's a photo print, for a start), finding interesting looking routes on OS maps, I found this on the lane I intended to use. As I recall I carried on down it, too.
Was reminded of it seeing the new 20mph speed limits, and the matching 'end of speed limit' signs as we disappear down a tiny lane overhung by trees...
shame, cutting a ribbon on an "active transportation" project in 2023, and there's a 25 speed limit sign in the background. #PBOT just doesn't prioritize safety. #20isPlenty#VisionZero
So I'm writing to the city about some streets that got skipped in our #20isPlenty signage rollout (2018 iirc), and finding that the state map that one sad excuse was based on has changed since then. Maybe needs re reviewing.
