If you ask most people especially those with families they would say they support the introduction of The 20 mph in most urban setups and villages as we tend to see a lot of erratic drivers acting busy busy busy. We at https://www.loorolls.com/ totally love the idea especially near our business area in Liverpool.

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 Rod. I’m also keen to see the population figures if possible. I know that’s not easy in a CMS environment but could they be added in brackets after the place names perhaps? I’m interested in the implementation of 20mph coverage in my town and, ideally, would like to see which areas are covered in the smaller provincial towns similar to my own. I support the lower limit in residential areas but not necessarily along arterial routes, even if they are also residential.

Hi David

Thanks David. The table has now been added

The table of places shown on your old website is far easier to read than the Google map. Is it possible to include the table somewhere here as well?

If you think that “20 is plenty” you’re either
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.
