> But I guess that one guy on the side street who was shaking his fist at people speeding past his house is happy now. That’s me. My UK cul-de-sac street is a 20mph limit. It’s a thin street with cars parked on both sides with just enough room to drive down the middle. There are kids and pets. People fly down the street at terrifying speeds, putting on seatbelts, fiddling with their phones and all sorts between two lines of parked cars. My neighbour on one side uses my dipped kerb to mount the pavement at 15mph and drive along the pavement to park outside his own house. My other neighbour has a hedge, such that my son could be running up the drive on to the pavement, where we have taught him it is safe, and my other neighbour could be driving along the pavement and hit him without ever seeing him. People just don’t think.
