    20mph limit sought to improve community living

     Safety is only one aspect of the plan to reduce traffic speed in residential areas.

    The car should be treated as a guest in residential areas

     When a horse gallops it travels at 30mph. When it trots it moves at 20. Would you gallop a horse in a residential area? Of course not. So why travel in your car at 30?

    The design of streets, guidance in the UK
    jimbo1000
    by jimbo1000  4-4-2009    2
     A manual has just been produced for town designers. If implemented it will mean that the pedestrian and cyclist are top of the hierarchy in town streets rather than the motor car. Much overdue in my opinion. The cameraman has an unfortunate habit of falling asleep occasionally

     Paradoxically the slower speed gives higher traffic volumes and quicker journey times.

     New guidlines 'Manual for Streets' in the UK give an opportunity for designers to improve living areas for people but will they show the initiative necessary?

     cycling is too dangerous where I live that is why I am campaigning for 20mph zones. You'll need to centralise the slider as the pictures are slightly too big for the frame

    pedestrians and motorists should share space in streets
    jimbo1000
    by jimbo1000  10-17-2008    1
     This concept is only slowly being accepted in the UK. It needs a change of culture. Pedestrian/motorist eye-contact is an important concept.

    An example of a civilizing trend in UK cities
    jimbo1000
    by jimbo1000  9-12-2008   
     Well done Norwich councillors, standing up to the officers who often seem to be against these schemes. I believe that the vociferous motoring lobby gives them more hassle than they can cope with. This is a long term process to change the culture. There are very popular tv programmes which unfortunately encourage the treatment of the public highway as a sports arena.

    20mph the default speed in towns?
    jimbo1000
    by jimbo1000  6-30-2008   
     This will come and the sooner the better. Norwich wanted to introduce a townwide limit of 20 and the engineers said it would cost £10M to install! This is a total nonsense. With 20 the default speed there would be need for the few 30mph signs only

     Good news for the the city of dreaming spires but if it will cost £300,000 for Oxford how come it will cost Norwich ten million pounds to do the same thing?
