"The city council in late 2012 voted almost unanimously in favour of a<br>
city-wide 20mph speed limit to improve pedestrian safety, lessen<br>
traffic congestion and reduce pollution. The roll out of 20mph speed<br>
limits across Birmingham will begin in the city centre and inner city<br>
wards despite resident objections, it has been announced."<br>

In Luxembourg, we used a similar roll-out of speed limits to<br>
completely map the speed limits in the city, following the council<br>
quarter by quarter as they rolled out the restrictions. Shall we try<br>
to do the same in Birmingham?<br>
<br>
These are the speed restrictions as we have them now:<br>

<br>
By the way, what is the scope of a speed restriction sign in the UK?<br>
Is the sign valid until the next crossing, or until the next sign<br>
indicating a change of speed? I have seen both systems used in other<br>
countries.<br>
