>The 30mph speed limit in urban areas was devised at a time when death on the roads was an accepted part of daily life. In 1930, before its introduction, more than 7,300 people died in road accidents. At that time there were just over 2m vehicles on the road. It was a controversial move: speed signs were defaced and there was no shortage of irate drivers writing to the Times to protest.
>GRRRR HOW DARE YOU FORCE ME TO BE RESPONSIBLE
Speeds limits should be massively lowered anyway. The human brain just isn't wired to be moving at the speeds that we allow ourselves to go in motorcars.
>there's actually roads here that have a 60MPH limit (which people frequently break)
>and there's no foot path and there's houses along the road
>meaning that by the time they see someone they have to brake for they are already nearly at the reason they need to brake in the first place
Why is this considered acceptable?
