Some speed limits are simply illogical

Both Ms Best and Mr Djaferis make valid points in their letters regarding speeding on our roads, even though they hold opposing views.

One point, however, is overlooked. That is the ridiculous 30kph speed limits on the approach to roundabouts and slip roads, etc.

I would challenge anyone, even Mother Theresa on a moped, to abide by them. It is so absurdly slow that to obey it would put you in mortal danger of a rear end shunt. To believe me just look at your speedometer next time you pass one.

If the unrealistically low speed limit signs were raised to reflect the safe and sensible speed that drivers actually travel at perhaps we would all have more respect for the higher ones as well.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
