Sat nav tech exists telling us the speed limit in real time. It's within the reach of car manufacturers to limit car speed according to the current geolocation of a car in real time. Gov should enforce this.

@chrisbjohns.bsky.social, I'm reading The Economist article Feb 1st to 7th, "The Long and Winding Road", one aspect discusses the push back there's been from Wales when they lowered the urban speed limit from 30 to 20 mph. Why the push back? Was there an economic consequence to this?

Irish language and bilingual street signs in Northern Ireland have been vandalised more than 300 times in the past five years, at a cost to councils of almost £60,000.

Some signs were daubed with paint or graffiti while others were burned, stolen or pulled down.
