Kevin Monaghan said he was not a fan of the 20mph zones in the Capital. “It’s counterproductive,” he argued. “People will now ignore 20 zones in actual residential areas and near schools. 20 zones should be reserved for such places.”

Gail McAulay said she felt 20 mph zones were “fine in residential estates,” but she added: “20 mph on main high streets just cause frustration and regardless of what the ‘experts’ say it causes delays.”
