[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8934393, member: 718"] Have a look at Llanllwni, Pencader on Google maps. It is admittedly not all 30mph [now 20] but illustrates the sort of villages commonplace in the area. It is a relatively quiet road all day long. It is a straight road for the most part and starts at the top at Aber Giâr where the village sign is, and ends somewhere beyond the fork to the B4436 and Jephson Ltd. Use the satellite ‘Layers’ overlay to see the density and layout of houses. Do the same with Lampeter Road, Aberaeron which was fine at 30 but drastic all the way down to the river in town and out to Evans Body Repairs at 20 mph. Drop the street view guy down there. It’s a lovely town and the main A487 coast road and town centre can get very busy and congested, meriting the existing 20mph limits as they were, because frankly nobody could exceed that during the day most of the year anyway. But Lampeter Road? No! It is a favourite with the camera van to raise income because its natural driving speed is about 35mph and they caught people regularly doing just that in a 30 zone. Nobody has ever had an accident with a pedestrian there as far as I know. Not even when idiots drive through at 40+, ignoring all reasonable people’s limits and the legal one. [/QUOTE]
