It is not the livestock up there, as there is little/no cattle and the fencing is really good. The issue (if indeed it is one as this is only 1 article and a NIMBY one at that) is that it has become a cult favourite to set unofficial times. As cars get quicker but training and experience less, misappropriate use of speed is deployed, whether that be 40 or 140 depending on car, conditions, etc.

A blanket speed limit will not make a jot of difference if you are determined to exceed 60 already. So perhaps education rather than dumbing down?

It saddens me every time i see someone reach for the blanket ban/dumbed down/lazy approach such as this, as it in effect says they have given up or not tried to improve others/themselves….A far worst crime in humanity in my view.
