peak times (city wide), cycle lanes that end abruptly, pavement and road changes that force cyclists into vehicles' paths, and the ending of left turns at traffic light controlled junctions (Muller Road). It is about time that the city council traffic management department thought the proposals through with intelligence, common sense and listened to the public. I regularly drive in the pilot areas and cannot see how they can possibly be successful. Nobody seems to obey the 20mph limit. If you attempt to drive at 20mph you get somebody up your backside almost immediately. I then feel safer driving a little bit faster, say 30mph. Everybody else seems to ignore the speed limit also so what is the point? Surely it would be a far better use of resources to spend 2.3m on a road safety campaign for Children. I was brought up being told that roads were not safe. I follow the green cross code and have never ever been close to being hit by a car in 30 years of crossing roads. Roads will still not be safe even at 20mph. The evidence from the pilot areas shows that most roads have experienced speed reductions. These have been greatest on those roads which had the highest speeds previously. We already provide road safety education for children in many schools. The problem is that, largely because of road danger, children are not allowed to practice the skills they have learned. If slower speeds can encourage more independent mobility for
