Lucerne, Switzerland has produced 8 excellent fact sheets about 30km/h (18.5mph). They describe how 30km/h affects quality of life (better), noise (less), road safety (increased), air quality (improved), travel time (little difference), bus journey times (rarely any difference), road capacity (helps) and neighbourhoods (nicer).   

Here are answers to the questions that we are asked most frequently about 20mph, including a short video. Answers are fully referenced with more detail. The most common questions are about the benefits of 20mph (fewer casualties, lower emissions, supports active travel), whether 20mph is popular (it is), can it be enforced (yes) and whether it creates more emissions (it doesn't). It's cost effective and has little or no impact on journey times (even buses).

20mph is as enforceable as any speed limit.  20’s Plenty for Us asked Police Forces whether and how they actually enforce 20mph speed limits.  Many do enforce 20mph and 2/3 of speeding tickets come from Fixed Cameras (across ALL speed limits) 

*** WONDERFUL conference with over 120 attendees

*** COMMITMENT to 20mph in Scotland by 2025

*** CONSENSUS that default 30mph not 'fit-for-purpose' in the 21^st Century

*** DEBATE no longer about whether to implement 20mph, but how to maximise benefits

*** 20mph implemented to SUIT LOCAL NEEDS

*** Latest data shows REDUCTIONS of up to 8mph on faster roads

*********THANKS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS*********

By adopting a motion to support 20mph where people live, work and play, your Parish or Town Council will 1) benefit the local community, 2) demonstrate to the Highway Authority the desire for 20mph county-wide and 3) make it cheaper and easier to implement.

30mph / 50kmh speeds aren’t cutting it for our 21st century lives. They’ve already been rejected by Spain, Wales and local authorities covering 1/3rd of UK population as not fit for purpose. Attend a free webinar on Thursday 20 May at 2.30pm for UN Global Road Safety Week on how nations are setting national default 20mph/30kmh for urban and village #streetsforlife.

There are some great UN resources available for Global Road Safety Week.

Global pressure is mounting on legislators to reset speed limits for #Streetsforlife – designed for flourishing human activities. Whether protecting humans and quality of life in Kent or Kenya, it’s 20mph/30kmh that’s global best practice where people mix with motors. Norming 20mph/30kmh is the sole call of the biennial UNGRSW by the UN and WHO. Local politicians must update policy to #ActOn20mph #Love20 #Love30.
