....drivers will be forced to reduce to 13.7mph.
Call me picky if you like but isn't the speed limit 30mph, not 13.7mph?
The only time anyone has been killed/injured on that road was
after traffic calming was installed (those ridiculous concrete tank traps, which at least one person drove into and wrote the car off). As everyone drove along there at 40mph before, surely the sensible answer would have been to raise the speed limit to 40mph. I don't think I've ever seen a pedestrian along there and the bus stops are big enough to see and avoid.
In the meantime, until this politically correct imbecile is fired, if you can afford it buy a Range Rover with air suspension. I've been reliably informed you can do 40mph down that road without noticing the humps.
