We can do that. Note that current DfT guidance states quite clearly that arterial and main roads can be set with 20mph limits. What we say is that any speed limit above 20mph should be justifiable and take full account of the needs of vulnerable road users. Local officers, councillors and communities are best placed to decide such exceptions and inclusions.
Thanks David. The table has now been added
a) a pensioner who drives a Peugeot 207 and thinks “20 is plenty” on the motorway.
b) A hipster who drives a Nissan Cube or Leaf
or
c) You work for H&S.
