Rejected petition Remove the newly implemented 20mph speed limit in Buckley, Flintshire.

The newly implemented 20mph speed limit should only be in housing estates and around schools during school start/end time.

More details

It is causing frustrated drivers, leading to increased road rage and a higher chance of collision. 20mpg is also too slow to overtake a cyclist or slow moving vehicle such as a tractor with out breaking the speed limit.

There has already been a collision on the day that the new speed limit was introduced. There is also not enough signs to effevtively inform drivers of the new speed limit
