On Wednesday they will issue guidance to councils urging blanket speed limits of 50mph, rather than 60mph, on rural single-carriageway A roads with a history of accidents.
The government also says the standard limit should be 20mph around homes and schools.
I sometimes wonder if govt departments ever speak to each other, there already IS a 20mph limit around most schools. On the A78 the road I use most days you are hard pressed to even reach 50 mph, with roadworks and temporary traffic lights every mile or so.
Then you have the dawdlers, I got landed behind one early yesterday morning driving at 35 in a 60 limit. He was also the only driver on the road without his dipped headlights on !.
