Having just driven into Brighton centre and back for a hair cut - i can advise that the 20mph limit is a totally pointless waste of money - the Brighton Town planners have already made it impossible to go that fast in Brighton with their policy of traffic lights, one way streets, closing 'rat runs' , bus lanes, lane restrictions etc etc !! The latest cock up is the loss of 2 lanes on the Lewes road from the bottom of Coldean Lane - so now the plan is complete - all the major arteries into the Town are restricted leading to lovely 2 mile queues into town on any busy period. In the body, restrictions in the main arteries lead to death ! ... But on the positive side, lots more fun filtering between the traffic and sprinting off the lights and if they set up a speed camera in a 20 mph zone we can all play 'set off the flash'' sprint competition. Happy riding all !
