We sometimes get diverted off in Birmingham when it's closed for repairs.</p> <p>That thing of using the hard shoulder as lane is a wee bit unsettling. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12186#post-142153 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 10:22:23 +0000 gembo 142153@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Guess they don't want to get ahead of themselves. But does look like the system works. I wonder how many people have been ticketed for breaking the speed limit?</p> <p>This doesn't seem to work on the M6, except for one section where the speed limit is permanently 50. At other times the signs telling you to lower your speed mean you are shortly going to be in a jam, so the system is not a universal solution </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12186#post-142152 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 10:09:57 +0000 SRD 142152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Gotta love the transport Scotland quote at the end. </p> <p>Are their promotion chances based on how glum they are about positive change? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12186#post-142150 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 01:14:55 +0000 chdot 142150@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/variable-speed-limits-cut-forth-bridge-accidents-1-3298905" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/variable-speed-limits-cut-forth-bridge-accidents-1-3298905</a> </p>
