#speed-limit — Public Fediverse posts

I think the #GreenParty should spin its proposed #SpeedLimit policy slightly differently - and just say "we will reassess all speed limits on #UK #roads, selecting maximums of 50 to 60 mph where appropriate" this enables use of existing road signs and limits that drivers are familiar with, isn't wildly different from what local Councils and #NationalHighways / #TrafficScotland / #TransportForWales are doing anyway, gives #gammons a less obvious headline than unusual 55 mph limit and they don't have that long attention spans..

Incidentally I've now been driving 7 years and even in that relatively short time I've seen multiple rural roads across #Suffolk and #Essex change limits from 60 mph to 40-50 mph - all areas with Conservative Councils!

Forty on the Way Down

We pulled in at the Mirador de Guise y Ayose and after photographing the statues there like everyone else (I have yet to post those photos, stay tuned) I pointed the camera at this little red-ringed 40 sign keeping watch by the road. Which is fu...

Today is the anniversary of the start of a 70mph (112 km/h) maximum #speed limit on #motorways (and any roads otherwise not restricted by a speed limit) in the #UK - starting in 1965 and being fully implemented in 1967.

Previous to that, the max speed limit was unrestricted (as fast as your car would go!) and all my motoring books from early 1960s mention this (but do still suggest driving to an appropriate speed for the road conditions).

The #Police do not state whether these were his own or customers vehicles that he's ragging, either way its horrendous #driving for a built up area - if anything its made *worse* because he's being devious enough not to grossly exceed the #speedlimit due to paranoia about #cameras, with acceleration followed by harsh braking.

I know all the areas he was in and they are busy with other road users, pedestrians, cyclists etc (and the entry to the A14 highway from #Felixstowe shown in the last part of the video is also often busy), none of them are suitable for that kind of behaviour..

Interesting that #Suffolk #Constabulary gave the video an operation name, it suggests they put a *lot* of effort into gathering evidence against this lad..

Due to the specific scientific anomalies in Germany ("#SpeedLimit? Not possible due to lack of signs!", "#HeatPumps? #ElectricCars? Won't work here!", "Adjust the grid to increase the share of #RenewableEnergy? Way too expensive - we'd better start building new fossil gas fueled plants for the next 30-40 years right now and stop any incentives for solar & wind!" etc.), I'm afraid that #Germany will remain amongst the last #PetroStates :mastoflushed:

“Journey times up, deaths down: Welsh 20mph speed limit still divisive two years on. Protests continue against default lower limit in urban areas that supporters say is working ‘exactly as intended’.” Look I don’t mind if a few kids get killed if it means I can have 3 more minutes in bed before I have to get up to go to work. #SpeedLimit #Motoring #Cars

A 21 year old #mechanic and #technician from #Lotus was killed on the #A14 highway in #Rougham #Suffolk and his friend badly injured after he drove an #Emira at 100 mph (160 km/h) or more in Winter 2023 and lost control due to a wet road surface and possibly unsuitable #tyres

(the #SpeedLimit for such a highway in England is 70 mph (112 km/h) )

Seagull’s Perch on Wallis Buoy

Ah, the majestic Wallis buoy. It’s a beacon of maritime sophistication and seagull real estate. On my way to Sherkin Island, I came upon this floating masterpiece, complete with a solar panel that probably powers the seagull’s Netflix subscription. The bird, perched confidently atop its throne, seemed to be enforcing the 6 km speed limit with all the authority of a traffic warden who’s had one too many cups of tea.

New on the blog: Reporting an excessive speed limit on an important main road needed to access a brand new secondary school that is due to open in September. Will #WarwickshireCountyCouncil be proactive in road safety and get this dropped to 30mph before school starts?

Schnelles Autofahren verbraucht erheblich mehr Benzin und produziert deutlich mehr CO2.
Wir brauchen deshalb ein Tempolimit! Und jetzt ist ja die FDP aus der Koalition raus!
