Recently drove in Scotland where built up areas generally have 20mph speed limits. I found It made little difference in overall journey time Felt safer, stopping distance much reduced Easier to join the traffic Similar speed as cyclists Felt safer and more relaxed as a pedestrian, easier to cross the road
From my experience with it being introduced in Wales, most people are happy that’s it’s implemented in their own street and area. They just hate that they also have to drive slower where other people live.
Since when has their own evidence stopped a tory doing something shit

Rishi is a smegging twat.
In Germany, many residential areas have 30 km/h (~17 mph) speed limits. It’s considered normal, reasonable and safe here.
Countdown until they david-nutt the researchers for daring to contradict government policy with evidence.
30 limits should be opt-in: Chosen for roads it suits, rather than the current opt-out. There are often narrow residential roads which really should be 20, but there isn’t enough evidence due to the low traffic volume.
