I think that 20 mph zones around schools ( possibly time operational linked to school hours ) and other facilities such as old peoples homes are quite justified.

But find that a 20mph limit on an open road with no traffic or other obstructions even in an urban enviroment ridiculous. Much of the time in urban enviroments traffic speeds are curtailed to 20ish or lower anyway due to traffic or obstruction conditions.

I lived in a town in America in the eighties wit a blanket 20mph limit and it was a nightmare driving anywhere to be honest.

The eyes flitting back and fore from road to speedo is a real issue for me, I'd rather drivers kept their eyes on the road more than the speedo.

I knew I read it somewhere!!
