Do my eyes deceive me? Some of those limits are going *up*, not down. Quick, there's been a mistake...

About a 150 metre stretch from between Johnsons Buildbase and the Grenoble Road roundabout. 30mph to 40mph. Quite sensible really. Not sensible at all for cyclists who have to use road with no cycle lane. Wait for the first death then state sensible. Should be 20!

Andrew:Oxford wrote:Because the pavement (don't people normally have a downer about cycling on pavements?!) is just on one side of the road, cyclists heading east have to cross over the road twice to use it. Thus if speeds are increased from 30 to 40 one would imagine that they are at more risk.
