ABINGDON is set to follow Oxford by implementing 20mph zones.

But again the question has to be one of enforcement. Without the stick of police ticketing there will be motorists who are prepared to blithely ignore the new limits and continue on their merry way at 30mph or more.

Still, given the way many central Abingdon roads grind to a halt in the morning and evening, trying to hit 20mph would be an achievement.
