A third of Manchester roads are now subject to 20 mph speed limits. from today. The move is to reduce the number of accidents....

Not too sure if it will work, slower speed, more traffic, longer waits. Accidents will still occur.

What do you guys think?

Had it in Brighton for over a year- awful
More and more roads converting
Stops people bothering to go into town to do a days shoping, that and the super high park charges

Probably more pollution too.

As said, won't work, the only time there should be a 20mph limit anywhere is outside a school / nursery etc.

Councils won't be happy until everyone gets on their disgusting buses.

I reckon its here to stay- even the Police have started enforcing, when they said at first they didnt have the staff
Its spreading further away from the centres too- almost 3 mile away from centre at the mo
