Some drivers blame pedestrians ‘taking chances’ as the reason they make up 22% of those killed or seriously injured on our roads.  But how easy is it to cross safely? Who’s to blame when walkers die?

Implementing 20 mph limits without traffic calming prevents road injury and disability. It helps the less able to get about.  20 mph limits increase accessibility and opportunities for the most vulnerable to lead fairer, healthier, more sociable lives. Equality and inclusivity improve, raising quality of life for everyone including carers and those with dependent family

Rather than being an added imposition, bus operators should see 20mph limits as benefiting their customers and resulting in lower operating costs .
