The towns in the part of France where I am also have this limit (30kmh). Hardly anyone obeys it of course. But it's interesting how they try to enforce it. On small roads they install speed humps and/or alternative-side parking. On through roads they cannot do that, since they would slow down emergency vehicles. So they put those fyi radars, which don't seem to have any effect anymore. The real automated camera+radar installations are rare and signalled ahead (by law?), and cars always obey the limit in those areas.
- lynx23 3y ago> Hardly anyone obeys it of course. Isn't is wonderful how vehicle owners are entitled to break the law, and nobody seems to care? Driving drunk, ignoring the speed limit, are all actions that directly endanger unrelated citizens. And all that vehicle operators have to say is "of course".
- soco 3y agoI'd say that's lack of enforcement "of course". And I really couldn't care less about people now claiming "ohh but that's stupid" - it's your country, vote against those speed measures if you don't like them. Or just follow them, because your own mates and not some reptilians voted for them.
- lynx23 3y agoI am a pedestrian. I am the one put in danger by reckless vehicle owners. No surprise that you "couldn't care less". Do you even realize that there is a demographic of people who don't own nor operate a car?
- soco 3y agoCould it be you are answering to a different comment? Edit to rehash my point: drivers will say they don't follow the speed limits because "they are stupid" but all in general, if somebody thinks a rule is stupid they shouldn't keep voting for the creators of said rules. Ignoring rules should be punished and there's an obvious lack on this side, if the people can safely ignore rules they aren't really rules are they. Anyway having those speeding rules means you as pedestrian seem to have a majority right now, and if somebody wants to fight against that majority they should motivate a different majority. All democratic innit.
- gniv 3y agoThe most frustrating is that buses don't respect it either. If they were to try to enforce it strictly there would be protests I'm sure.
- sebstefan 3y agoI'm french as well and I despise how the 30km/h limit is rarely obeyed I'd just put speed cams until they stop paying for themselves and then use the following year's funds to narrow the worst of these roads.
