Dear Sirs or Mesdames,
The dangerous 20mph speed limit is not only unenforceable it increases fuel consumption and pollution…cyclists regularly exceed 30mph let alone 20mph – I don’t see any being stopped especially along the sea front.
The highest pollution based on my hypersensitive lungs are those where the buses congregate, the foot of St James street and the hill opposite… and how do they intend to enforce it and are they going to put their own heavily polluting buses off the road? – I think not.. more “Flag waving” to show they are doing “something” by introducing a policy which costs the Brighton Council tax payer a fortune and does absolutely nothing to address the problems causing congestion and pollution.
My recommendation – take out all traffic lights, kerbs and fences along roads. This open street planning slows traffic reduces accidents and reduces pollution as vehicles are not stopped idling but continue to move at a slow pace.
Jeff Ware, Brighton
