Of all the traffic that uses Frenches Avenue, I doubt that any of them adhere to the 20 MPH speed limit ( and a lot ignore the old 30mph limit). T It's just a waste of time and taxpayers money to erect all the signage etc, if it can not policed or enforced in any way.
For 100 yards either side of school entrances I can understand. But elsewhere, and at other hours, it is plainly unnecessary and results in motorists concentrating more on keeping their speed below 20mph than keeping their eye on the road.
I agree with 20mph limits near schools but I have seen more near misses and stupid driving, overtaking and tailgating in the last few months than I have seen in my 17 years a west Dunstable resident!
You can only keep a car at 20 mph in second gear and you can't drive around town in 2nd gear it's not natural.kids coming out of school think they can walk out in front of you because you are going so slow.
I've been through some of the use 20 zones and it's worrying when someone is driving so close behind that if I was to brake they would end up hitting me and feeling forced to speed up so that they are not so close but trying to stay at the limit at the same time
Oppose similar scheme intended for Linslade, Leighton Buzzard
26 mph Sunday lunchtime on a road that has always been 30? This is madness. Nothing to do with safety.

It's ridiculous, I can understand outside schools but normal roads it's just not right, also why did they make langdale rd thinner then put 2 bus stops in the thinner section ?? How stupid are the high ways planners ?? It's laughable I would call it amateur at best lol
