Crank, I think thats where the whole risk assessment comes in - how likely is there to be an accident in roadworks compared to on a town street in the vicinity of a school.
Although I agree with Westpig above with regards to speed limits, there needs to be an acceptance that we have a huge number of bad drivers on our road. His examples re flashing lights being ignored, speed cameras being ignored back this up.
So if we make the speed limit 65mph through roadworks, unless they are governed by cameras, you will still have ones that will do 90 through them.
Instead of drivers relying on their senses nowadays, we have drivers relying on their sat navs, phones, speed camera warnings etc etc and not enough reliance on eyes, ears and brain.
