Visiting London last week, from Soho to Millbank on a lime bike- I was struck by how driver behaviour is different to Sheffield- it’s not only good infrastructure but 20mph that makes a difference and needs widespread roll out across UK #twentyisplenty
Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
It has long been argued that lowering the speed limits to 20 MPH (roughly 32 km/h) dramatically increases the collision victim's chance of survival. In Seattle, all the neighbourhood […]
It’s a graphic showing Donald Trump in 20th Pl. all time on the number of days is president List, just ahead of William McKinley and Abraham Lincoln, and behind Lyndon Johnson.

Already getting some good use!

Any good ideas for a unifying hashtag with the discourse around speed and speed limits recently on #bluesky?
Quick ideas off the top of my head

#TwentyisPlenty (already a slogan and a good one!)
IMHO the speed limit in cities should be 30km/h / 20 miles/h for everyone. #twentyIsPlenty
Screen scrape reads: Based on comparisons of more than a decade of road casualty statistics between 113 London LTNs and other roads that did not have them, the report’s authors found that LTNs were associated with a 35% reduction in all injuries, rising to 37% for deaths and serious injuries. From: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/07/londons-low-traffic-zones-cut-deaths-and-injuries-by-more-than-a-third
Once you know a way to stop thousands of life changing and ending collisions with vehicles, the only moral way forward is to implement change. Isn't it? #LTN #TwentyIsPlenty #20Plenty

False
And driving above the speed limit is a direct factor in the likelihood of a road fatality
Speed limit of 25? If your drive 20 you'll only kill someone 10% of the time. Driving 30? Close to 50/50 odds you would kill a pedestrian
ALWAYS DRIVE UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT #TwentyIsPlenty

Pssst Boston drivers, here's one weird trick to get cheaper car insurance: slow down drivers! #TwentyIsPlenty
Such good news for everyone, I hope the usual complainers, particularly pro-motorist & political groups along with a certain local news reporter in my area of #Bournemouth, #Christchurch & #Poole, #Conservative take note and start whistling a different tune

20mph zones aren't anti-motorist: they reduce crashes and car insurance premiums.

Another smash in Lawrie Park Road as a car apparently loses control and smashes into a parked car lifting it onto the pavement. Quite a smash for a 20 mph zone.
People shocked but hopefully not hurt. This is […]

Loving the idea of a statewide #VisionZero coalition, ESPECIALLY as it relates to creating a bigger, more inclusive block for lobbying for real change. #Connecticut #twentyISplenty
West Weaver St in #Carrboro by F&F auto. Speed limit is too high. #VisionZero #TwentyIsPlenty http://t.co/9gFHG9UtXM
