My local council has made a traffic order creating 20 mph zones on some of
the residential streets near me (coming into force on Monday, although
there's no signs up yet...)
The order says that "no person shall drive a motor vehicle" etc.
Is it normal to exempt cyclists from this sort of speed restriction or is
it just that 'speeding' on a bicylce is assumed to be covered by other
legislation?
When roads get closed the wording is usually along the lines of "no person
shall cause a vehicle to proceed along" which makes me wonder why there's
a difference in this case.
