Just come back from cairngorms, amazing riding /driving /everything.
Came across a few villages that had lengthy 20 zones, each time in villages that didn't have schools, had huge huge open road (former 60 straight through) and all the houses were on one side. Average age, a lot.
Suspect that all the newer plots of land that have been built on, despite moving into a village on a fast road, decided to campaign for it.
Each time there was zero need for a 20. Then a few towns we went through that had multiple schools, tight narrow busy streets were 30 or 40 mph limit. Made no sense to me. Motorbike speedo isn't very accurate so could see coming unstuck
