Road Safety: Motion.
Another area that requires attention is the review of speed limits. Speed signs should be colossal without any small letters because this, too, can be a deterrent to good driving. This is absolutely necessary. I am not convinced, however, that a speed limit reduction from 40 mph to 30 mph would work, as that is the limit at which motorists are getting caught. This might be a little unfair, as they can be caught for penalty points. I hope the Minister will review the decision in this light.
