Good to see Highways Magazine reporting on the success of the life-enhancing 20mph urban/village default in Wales that's proving to be one of the most effective road safety initiatives this century.
Will the new Welsh guidance on Side Road Zebra Crossings become the template for UK-wide adoption wherever main and side roads have a 20mph limit? Another benefit from making 20mph the urban/village norm for communities. www.gov.wales/sites/defaul...
What would you think of a driver going 50% faster than the speed limit? Reckless, dangerous, lawless..?
Well what would you think of a politician setting a speed limit 50% higher than is recognised as best practice for where pedestrians and cyclists mix with motors in a planned and frequent manner?
For the Traffic Noise and Public Health report and how speeds above 20mph become significant see www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
For the Traffic Noise for EVs report and how speeds above 20mph become significant see www.vejdirektoratet.dk/sites/defaul...
Traffic noise is a significant Public Health factor in communities. Conclusions from another report are that "EV’s are 4-5 dB less noisy than similar ICE at low speed when driving at steady speed. But at about 30 km/h the difference in emitted noise is not significant" . See comment

Well done Wales!. Another first for Wales as it publishes its guidance on Side Road Zebras. Where 20mph limits exist on main and side roads then a simple low-cost zebra crossing can be implemented. www.gov.wales/sites/defaul...
If only we could take 3 countries with the same cars, laws, etc, change most 30mph speed limits to 20mph in one of them and measure the results. Wales did that and now a Senedd Research report has shown how casualties dropped, -23.8% compared to England -5.2% and Scotland +3.1%. #20splenty
New Transport for London Speed Limit map just out. Shows huge coverage of 20mph limits (in green).
NB 69% of road casualties in London are on main roads ("A"/"B" classified) so great to see TfL and many boroughs bringing in 20mph on these roads too.
Open the app to drill down
Latest Senedd Research report has shown that road casualties in Wales dropped significantly after implementing the default 20mph limit when compared to England and Scotland. Another reason to say #20splenty where people are.
Moray Council has identified approximately 260 miles of the local road network – primarily in built-up areas – to be reduced from 30mph to 20mph. Another Scottish Council adopting a Safe System approach to speed management in cities, towns and villages.
In stop/start urban/village streets then 20mph limits save on fuel. Yet another reason to say that #20splenty

It's good to see Norway adopting a default 30km/h urban/village speed limit.
Opinion of 20mph limits within the transport and road safety sector has shifted to a majority favour of 20mph as a "Safe System" urban/village norm in the last 5 years. Data across 20-30% casualty reduction, insurance reduction and minimal journey delays have tipped the balance. #20splenty
It's good to see another English county rolling out 20mph limits. www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/gcc-news/new...
The legislation amending the Traffic Signs Regulations is available at www.legislation.gov.uk/wsi/2026/35/...
It's another huge benefit for pedestrians from 20mph in Wales as legislation passed today enables councils to install simplified side zebra crossings at junctions where the main and side roads have a 20mph limit.
I think we need a conversation. 80% of child casualties are when NOT walking to or from school. See www.20splenty.org/school_gate_...
Sounds like some people are having difficulty with this "Safe System approach" idea.
Good to see another 3,690 20mph roads coming to Glasgow as Scotland aligns its urban/village speed limits with global best practice. www.glasgow.gov.uk/article/8943...
Oxfordshire has now launched 275 20mph schemes! All locally requested and approved by Cllrs of all political parties. Because people like 20mph where they live.
Also @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social is giving away FREE 20mph stickers. @20splenty.bsky.social

The government's new Road Safety Strategy targets a 65% reduction in all KSIs and a 70% reduction in child KSIs over next 10 years.
In GB 50% of all KSIs and 64% of child KSIs are on 30mph roads.
Welsh 20mph/30mph casualties fell by 26% and KSIs by 15% after setting a default 20mph limit.
