It's an absolute joke, there was no consultation and no need for a 20 MPH carpet speed limit on every Borders town and Village, where is their evidence if there is any that this was needed.
I can see the benefits in smaller residential streets or near Schools etc...but to have it 20 MPH on the road into town where there is never a soul top be seen is just plain spiteful, this was backed by Sustran and Sustran is a Pro Cyclist group.
How much must this have cost the Community Charge payer, brand new signs in over 80 towns and Villages.
Supposedly It's a years trial...........aye, that'll be fechin right, there were almost zero incidents when it was 30 MPH but these scumbags will claim it the greatest success ever.
It'll cause more anger throgh speedo watching and impatience than it will ever solve.
Guess what town hasn't changed the main rout to 20, Selkirk, where that village idiot Gordon Edgar lives, he is in charge of the roads.
