| Comment | It's not a failure - people will **always** speed to a certain degree. Most people are "comfortable" doing 6-7mph over the limit.
Reducing the speed limit from 30 to 20 would take the average speed of cars down from 37mph to 27mph, and that's a win.
There are other ways to reduce speed and make driving in certain areas at certain times less desirable. Glasgow City Council is actually quite good at using them.
Someone posted yesterday about traffic lights being deliberately timed so you have to stop at every single one. The part of The Broomielaw just before Central Station is really bad for that. So is the top of High Street near the hospital.
Speeding in Glasgow doesn't bother me. I'd like to see more done about cars running red lights. That seems to be the worst thing right now, especially at pedestrian crossings near Glasgow Uni. |
