burn the camera's.
20 is plenty in housing estates, I believe they should be put in these area's, we moved house to a quiet cul-de-sac as drivers would speed past the house we were in when Kerr was out playing.

My mum and dads area is a Twentys Plenty "limit"
Except, its not legally enforcable. The legal limit is 30.

Defeats the purpose altogether.

I live on a 20 street (very quiet street/dead end) too, only one of our neighbours is too stupid to support it. It makes sense in but they insist on speeding - at least 40, ned!

I live 5 houses down in my street and there are 2 speed bumps by the time you get to mine. And what do all the PLONKERS do, drive up the pavement till they have past them! :(
