They did an extensive trial in Buckley where 70% of the residents complained that the limit was counter productive and the trucks and vans were always in the wrong gear and kicked out far too much pollution. Two councillors over rode the objections and decided that because no one had been killed during the trial it must have been a success!

The trial is still in place and the current situation is that the Sunday Lycra brigade are now over and undertaking slower moving traffic and cyclists need 1.5m clearance forcing traffic onto the wrong side of the road. Yes I did say undertaking! They will pass you on the inside thus forcing you to move into the path of oncoming traffic.
