Re: Traffic Calming good or bad?
 

Don't get me started on the viaduct roundabout, it is my pet hate and is wrongly signposted. When you come down Eastgate from the Burnley Rd direction the M65 (Hyndburn Rd) is signed as straight ahead. In actual fact drivers are turning right to get to Hyndburn Rd, it was a right turn before the roundabout was ever put there, adding a roundabout has not changed that. Therefore people should be using the right hand lane, but don't....

In some cases they work in others they dont. Have seen the ones that narrow certain roads to a car width ove the majority of the distance and the car crazy brigade use them like a rally course.

We've got a school with a 40 limit outside of it, we're trying to get the limit reduced but get told its safe as it is.
I think the first step to enforcing a speed limit is to make sure everybody knows without a doubt what the limit is, limit signs on both sides of the road as you enter and repeater signs on lamp posts.
I don't like speed bumps much, I don't think they work, they just damage my suspension. Chicanes, if properly installed do work, if properly installed you have to slow up to go round them, even if theres nothing coming. I've only ever seen that once though, and I drive over 1500 miles a week.

Another thought on this is the speed bumps. Wonder how far I could jump my bike if I hit one at speed? And yes I would proberly fall of on landing.
