Petition against 20mph blanket speed limit

[Des Parrot]

I do object to artery roads being lowered apart the parts that pass by schools, care homes and other higher risk areas.
.

They tried this where I lived in Poland (30kmh) and it became far more dangerous, those who kept to the previous speed limit continued to comply but it noticeably led to a lot more overtaking, especially on zebra crossings. They had to add large speed bumps in as a result. In my 2 mile journey to work, I had to go over 8 bumps each way.
