The truth about 20mph after two years. on 14:08 - Aug 16 by ReslovenSwan1
The camera s saved lives keep speeds down a catch the crazy Boy racers. The extra costs are caused by anarchists.
If you know any arsonists report them to the police.
People who have their democratic say on 2016. Anarchy does not do one any good at all. Even the street hustler will suffer.

The boy racers will always break the speed limit. Everyone on that the road was more than happy driving safely between 50mph and 60mph. Unfortunately reducing it to 40 mph encourages boy racers to overtake making the road less safe.

The mentality of the "authorities" approach to speed in Wales is neatly summed up by the A4067 between Ynysforgan and Pontardawe.
I don't think anyone would have complained if they'd erected speed cameras and maintained a previously very safe 60mph limit. But no, that wasn't enough. They had to hector people more. So we got the 40mph limit and thousands of pounds of taxpayers money wasted on cameras that were cut down. And will undoubtedly be cut down again if they're foolish enough to reinstall them (and it looks like they are).
The reason the speed limit was dropped on that section of road and average speed cameras installed was because of a petition signed by 3000 local people. Let’s hope the arseholes who cut down the speed cameras will be happy when the next fatality happens on that road.

Petitions don't have any legal binding in the UK. I could easily rustle up 3000 signatures on a petition to birch shoplifters outside the Quadrant, but the Goverment or local authorities would pay no attention to it and rightly so. Laws cannot be dictated by emotions, and any politician who allows them to be so is not fit for office. No great shock in Wales. There's loads of those.
In any case the fatality that initiated all this was caused by two idiots racing at 90mph. Not 60mph. The 60 limit was perfectly safe and should have been left in place.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

It was not just that accident though, there was over 30 accidents, including 2 fatalities, on that short section of road. I notice recently that a stretch of that road above Pontardawe which was 60mph has now been reduced to 40mph and a stretch of road between Ynysmeudwy and Ystalyfera has now been dropped from 40mph to 30mph.

Two fatalities, only one involving excess speed. 30 accidents over a ten year period. So that's an average of three accidents a year on a road traversed by thousands of cars every day.
It was a very, very safe road at 60mph. The other roads were remarkably safe as well, but dumbass local party hacks are going to do what they do whilst emotionally manipulating the easily gulled.
