A13: Why the new speed limit?

Do you seriously think that double glazing solves all these residents'
problems? What if it's hot and they want to open the window? What if
they ever want to spend time in their garden? Have you any idea how
noisy a 70mph road is, especially in wet weather?

How is that different for urban residents from country residents? If
you live in the country, near a main road, you just have to put up with
the noise.....

I didn't say there was any difference. I lived in the country about 100m
from a motorway for 18 years; we had double glazing from compensation
payments, so I was pointing out that double glazing only "solves" the
problem if you keep every door and window shut and don't go outside.
