Will this happen here? we already have 20mph zones why no extend it across the city and give the Tuc-Tucs a chance to overtake occasionally.
Coombe road is supposed to be a 20mph zone, you wouldn't think so when trying to cross it on foot.... |

Well don't go there. After a few weekends of dustbowls and tumblweeds rolling through the empty shopping streets how long do you think it will last. After all you are in a car......go somewhere else..... |

I should think anybody would want to get out of Portsmouth at the fastest speed possible.
It is a cruel and unnuatural punishment to make them linger there. |

Just think of the cyclist you could scare at this speed.
It would make them realise how scared pedestrians are when they whizz past them when riding on the pavement. |

It isn't just the most fuel efficient, it is also the least harmful in terms of emissions ... Utilitarianism would hold that it is maintaining a constant speed between 50-55mph would be providing the greatest good to the greatest number. Provided we could get vehicles past Bentham or even Mills in the first place that is. |

The most fuel efficient speed is between 50 to 55 miles an hour, but if you happen to hit a pedestrian its instant death for them.
But all this is academic considering the gridlock in Brighton, you'll be lucky to reach 20mph in the city centre anyway. |

Even if it is more harmful to all concerned? |
