Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

All roads in the UK that are currently 30mph limits should be lowered to 20mph, and those at 40 lowered to 30. There should be a systematic review of those at 50 whether they should be 40. National speed limit should be lowered by 10mph.

As a tourist that recently drove around in England for two weeks, I wholly agree. The roads are way too narrow to justify the speed limits outside of the motorways.

Edit: also, why do you guys use half of the road for parking everywhere in towns?

To your edit, because land is too expensive in a lot of places to have dedicated parking
