Fhsoc thanks for clarifying the figures. do you have knowledge of the traffic census which was undertaken? I still find it a concern that 15% were travelling over 20% over the speed limit.
Shortly after the 20 mph zone was initiated we had a leaflet from the council explaining that the speed bumps in Tyson rd and Dunoon Rd needed to be reviewed. Apparently this is because drivers were exceeding the 20 mph ( before the zone was introduced ) From my observations I am convinced drivers go far faster along parts of Devonshire rd than they do on Dunoon or Tyson rd where speed humps appear closer and fiercer than the newly replaced Devonshire rd ones. I'm not sure I believe the figures from my own experiences. Any one else have a view?
I was told that the speed humps on Dunoon rd and Tyson would be replaced in order that the 20mph zone be enforced.
Nothing has happened.
It seemed very odd to me at the time to single out these two roads, as being the roads with the problem of speeding and it seems even odder that the council had not acted if it feels there is a problem.
Re the signage of the 20 mph zone, a lot of effort seems to have been put in recently lowering kerbs for pedestrians at all the entances to the zone. Perhaps raising the road to the level of the pavements creating a bump for drivers at the entrances to the zone, and a potential right of way for pedestrains would have been wiser. In Southwark the roadsare often a different colour for the initial 10 feet or so of a 20 mph zone.
Shaman sorry to hear your news.
