Enforcement is a critical aspect also. Putting up a 30 km/h sign on a road will probably do very little to address speeding if the road is designed such that drivers take the view that they can go fast on it. Road design, build-outs and the engineering of roads are also critical. A lot of this comes down to local authorities. They are the bodies that can act in this area. We can only set the guidance documents for them to work to. Is there enough recognition of that at local authority level?
