20mph Places

Over 30 million people in the UK (more than 1 in 3 of the population) live in the 122 local Highway Authorities (out of 209) that have committed to introducing 20mph where people live, work or play. Wales introduced 20mph as national default speed limit on roads with street lighting in September 2023. Scotland is committed to introducing 20mph across all councils. In England, nearly 70 out of 154 Local Councils are committed to 20mph where people are. Northern Ireland is currently consulting on its approach to 20mph. Below is a list of Local Authorities that have adopted a 20mph policy where people and motor vehicles mix and the populations covered.

I’m trying to add some more 20mph limits on residential roads near me. Surrey has some 20mph zones in residential areas. How can we arrange for them to be added to the list and the map?

We are hoping to persuade the Parish Council to explore the feasibility of a 20mph limit for the two villages in our parish, Sandford and Winscombe, and would also, like Pauline in Cuddington, very much like to hear from any communities who have been successful in having a limit put in place, and to know the details of how this was brought about. If you can help, please get in touch with us.

Upper Beeding (village in West Sussex, popn 3,000) does have a village-wide 20 mph zone. We have had it for some years now.

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?
