I thought I was dreaming the 20mph limit

[Muteswan]

I used to go along Mumbles/Oystermouth Road, up High Street, Llangefelach Road and then to DVLA.
Now I carry on to New Cut Road, Morfa Road up past the Liberty, Neath Road by pass, Vicarage Road to Clasemont Road. Leave the house 7.15 arrive about 7.45. Leaving earlier I miss the school traffic.
The return trip takes a lot longer, but similar to before the speed limit changes, due to the volume of traffic.

The best part of that is you missing the worst of the traffic. I think the only 20 stretch it up to and including Vicarage road from Neath road. Those roads are not easy to get over 20 from my experience. That not bad going from Mumbles. I saw the road from tycoch all the way through cockett and up to ravenhill is now 20 which is one to avoid in the morning when it was 30 anyway.
I was concerned this morning as I travelled between dunvant and gowerton that the 40 zone seems to have had the sign painted out suggesting it is 20.

The road from Tycoch to Cockett, there is one 30 stretch, I call that road broadway?, but the 30 zone starts from where the mini roundabout was, and stops around the junction with the cockett inn.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand another full working week with absolutely zero difference to my travel time or fuel consumption.

Anyone know what day / date the absolute carnage and gridlock is going to start?

That petition though. I hear they’re crapping themselves.

That’s probably because no f*cker appears to be doing 20mph mind.
Well it’s not what I’m seeing anyway.

I call fibs!!

Unless you were driving at 20mph before, then no way hose, can you go slower and have zero difference in travel time.

It's the kind of question you get in junior school, if a man drives 3 miles, what speed will get him there quicker a:20mph or b;30mph, I bet if you had that question in school, you would say say where's option c? Both the same. :lol:

Hose Mourinho?

Hose Mourinho?

Well, I have learnt something new off google, it's Jose, I always thought that term sounded like no way hosay, but google tells me it's basically Jose.

Edit; And I know put hose down the first attempt. :lol:

Darran is once again correct, every time Drakeford gets up on that podium with a suit that's too big for him, they just roll their eyes and carry on

Yes, I agree it's mainly ignored! Until I hit the road myself, a few days into it, it's clear to see it's being ignored. I thought maybe when I first showed my concerns over this, I did get the general impression that, that I could have been in the wrong, but it seems on my travels so far, that rough estimations over 95% of the Swansea public, don't agree with it, and are carrying on, the way they were before.

People drive like lunatics on 20mph roads anyway, before this demand from government, people just overtake the oldies who shouldn't be driving anyway, before this demand.. the government need to realise that they can't labotomise every person in the UK to do the perceived correct thing.. humans are like animals, we're all feral, according to Darwin anyway

Oldies aren't too bad, I have witnessed absolutely atrocious driving from foreigners, absolutely on the verge of dangerous, no way the ones I have seen, have passed their test.

Driving seems more safer and civilized
