Scandalously, last year I saw a 20 mph speed sign in the FRENCH Channel tunnel terminal on the approach road towards the train. It should be removed! I hope that I won't see it this summer.

This would have safety and economic benefits. Of course, on the safety front, there is that [insurmountable?] issue of driving on the same side of the road. THAT is a tough one! The question of the U.S. changing over to SI highways is a similar proposition. Some have worried that 'harmonization' would mean Mexico and Canada adopting a non-standard set-up. Reasonable people would not propose such a move. Duncan <snip>
