On the premise that the M20 motorway is "too noisy" for the residents of Maidstone, the local council has proposed that the speed limit is reduced to 50mph through junctions 6 through 8.
Instead of installing more soundproofing -- which costs money -- they are installing speed cameras -- which make money.
But to appear non-cynical the local council says that "air polution" from the motorway is the real problem.

If it's still being "proposed", why have they painted the white lines on the road and installed the cameras in the last week?
