Do you think 15mph speedlimits would help reduce accidents?

Probably in areas such as Walkley or even Ecclesall road as you often see young people wandering into the road while they are on their mobile phones.

 

I know it may inconvenience some but surely it has to be better than seeing a sad faced pedestrian bouncing on your bonnet after you've accidently drove into that person.

 

To me it would make the roads safer for everyone

Or maybe people should look were their walking.

Is it as simple as that?

Yes...........

Why should there be a reduction in speed limits, just because people don't have the brains they were born with.

I don't think you go far enough!

 

I think we should be looking at a 5mph speed limit; and we should also force cars to be covered in safety features, such as super-soft rubber bumpers. That way, we make the world a much safer place for inebriated pedestrians and other carefree types who like to wander aimlessly in to the road (for example, in places such as West Street on a weekend evening).

Most of the side roads in S5 have been made 20mph and IMO its made no difference, I see people doubling that speed all the time and personally think many of the roads 20mph is too slow. As someone who also uses ecclesall road regularly I just don't see at is something that would ever happen.

My car computes average speed. If I'm just doing city driving around Sheffield it's a remarkably consistent 14.8 mph.

 

So we don't need a speed limit.

Just think about the employment opportunities for the man with the red flag preceding each car; brilliant, unemployment cured at a stroke. Modern apprenticeships in flagmaking too. I think you've come up with a perfect plan Waldo.
