@__GT___@20splentyforus You are complaint about having to slow down going through small villages? Unless you remove all roundabouts, traffic lights and junctions too, it makes zero difference to journey time.
If only we could take 3 countries with the same cars, laws, etc, change most 30mph speed limits to 20mph in one of them and measure the results. Wales did that and now a Senedd Research report has shown how casualties dropped, -23.8% compared to England -5.2% and Scotland +3.1%. #20splenty
@chris_harrod@__GT___@20splentyforus Yes, if they have an associated TRO, and the proper signage, they are mandatory. If not, they aren’t.
On that commute, I’m sure it makes zero difference when you are stuck in a queue :)
@__GT___@20splentyforus The majority of towns in Scotland do not have a 20mph limit. There may be areas eg at schools, but it's not a blanket limit. Not sure it's legally enforceable either, it's more of a suggestion.
*Sensitive viewing - discretion advised* What drivers are doing to people every day of year, all over the world. And we’re not doing anywhere near enough about it.
Cut off in a roundabout. No space, no patience, no regard for safety. Cyclists deserve better.

@UpRideCC@upride Must stay in front and block traffic.
Must stay in front and block traffic.
Must ride dangerously to block traffic.
I'm entitled to block traffic.
I can't afford a car, so block traffic.
Must risk my life to block traffic.
Idiot.
MUST GET IN FRONT! MUST GET IN FRONT! MUST GET IN FRONT!
Dumb and selfish overtakes don't get more dumb and selfish than this!

This short video brilliantly shows what really causes congestion in London: private cars. This road has 4 lanes dedicated to them - 2 for parked cars, and 2 for traffic.
PS Want to fly past traffic and avoid soaring fuel prices?
If so, I highly recommend getting a bike 🚲
@PeterTatchell Biology is physical and defines whether you're a man or a woman. Gender identity is a modern term to describe someone's mental consideration of themselves. It doesn't and shouldn't affect anyone else and it certainly doesn't affect whether they are a man or a woman.
Biology & gender identity are 2 different realities. BOTH are valid
Trans men & women are not the same as cisgender men & women. They are different but equally valid
Trans people can be proud they are unique & special
The right to be different is a fundamental human right

LTNs aren’t just about reducing cars, they’re about giving streets back to people.
They cut air pollution, make roads safer for kids, and create quieter, more connected communities where walking and cycling become the easy choice.

- Right-wing morons
- Cyclist hating morons
- Climate change denying morons

This is why you often see cyclists riding in the middle of the lane, in many cases it's much safer to do so than riding near the kerb. At the time, I trusted the driver of this car to wait a few seconds until there was space to overtake me safely.
They didn't and received a NIP.
