Some analysis of the impact of the 20mph speed limit in urban areas in Wales. No deep insights unfortunately, but interesting reading in our current context of a major political party threatening to remove all recently introduced 30kph limits here.
Awesome! Do you have a reference for that by any chance?

I just got to experience some 20mph zones in San Francisco.
While many drivers do speed (and it doesnât seem to be very policed), they slow down noticeably around other users - maybe because they know it is now officially naughty.
Anyway, it combines quite nicely with the painted âbikeâ on the road and makes it actually a useful way to denote that bikes are welcome.

As covered in the ODT (blink and you missed it page 3.) this open letter from the Global Road Safety Partnership, signed by multiple NZ experts, destroys all arguments for reversing the changes made to make speed limits safe. (I prefer using the term âsafe speed limitsâ to âspeed limit reductionsâ). ODT - this should be front page please!
