How Well Do You Know The Road?

Except in my town and most of the towns in Herefordshire where the green county council have used the pandemic as an excuse to make whole towns, street by street, 20mph zones as a temporary measure... Bet your bottom dollar that it'll slide to perminant and not be removed. Hereford itself has been converted to a cycle friendly city, now schools are going back and people returning to work it's apparently more congested as a result. My youngest starts college there today but has to be driven to the bus stop a couple of miles away as the service is so patchy. It's 12 miles to her college so cycling isn't a practical proposition.

Firstly using the pandemic is a really weak excuse to roll this out, they've grasped it all the same as it's like a lot of woke reasoning; make the reason something that you can shout and shame any opposition down. Added to which they've implemented their cycle strategy without doing anything of note about public transport. Herefordshire is a rural county with a lot of people commuting in.

Glad I'm moving out of the county in a couple of weeks quite frankly. Though Gloucestershire has its issues too.
