the problem with out side the town hall is that the road looks exactly like the pavement

children especialy would have didficulty telling them apart as to where the pavement stops and the road ends they even put benches right on the edge of the road across from blockbuster

regardless of who is right or who is wrong it is a 5mph zone and i have yet to see a bus not traveling above 5mph

we have cameras in the town centre and any vehicle that is in that area that shouldnt be should be reported and the driver fined and 3 points and it shouldnt be too hard to do because they have the evidence on video

as for the top of peel street ther is a zebra crossing there so anyone driving in that area should be approaching the top of peel street with caution if not extra caution

lets face it all drivers speed

in a 30 zone most do 40

in a 50 zone most do 60

granted not all drivers speed but the norm seems to be to add 10mph to a speed limit unless of course drivers know theres a speed camera in the area

i think peopel who kill through speeding should have to face the familys of those they kill as part of their punishment as it may put them off speeding again when they get their licences back

personaly i think if you kill through bad driving you should never be allowed to drive again ever just like if you were to shoot someone you would never be allowed to own a gun ever again ( not sure if anyone is allowed guns anymore ime not up to date with new laws it may just be faremers allowed to own guns now )
