20 mph speed limit

They are all over Scotland I think, certainly passed through plenty coming up to Perth.

Plenty in Perth. I find them difficult to comply with.

If on a road that is empty ie no parked cars etc. it’s easier but if there are cars parked and moving traffic as well it gets difficult to comply as you are constantly changing speed and there are very few signs to remind you the limit.

Hopefully just a learning curve.

Not really all over, just in the usual places: near schools, and on housing estates.

"Twenty's Plenty" as they say...

My route into town, 6 miles away, limits vary, depending on the road, pretty much like England.

Mostly 40mph, one section of the small by-pass is 50mph, back to 40mph closer to town.

My friend in Wales says it sometimes applies one way on a normal 2 way road as well as other places. She reckons it's a lot to do with boy racers and idiots who speed through villages.

We've got 20mph and speed cushions through Monkton village and people still manage to speed.
