BACK20 Mph Speed Limit Reduction Zones
13th April 2023
Why 20mph Speed Limit Zones are being Implemented
In the event that a vehicle travelling at a speed of 30mph hits a pedestrian, there is a one-in-five chance that the pedestrian will be killed.
A crash at 30mph involves around twice as much destructive potential as a crash at 20mph.
From 17 September 2023, Wales is introducing a default 20mph speed limit on restricted roads. They are the first UK country to implement legislation to have a default 20mph speed limit on roads used by cars, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Benefits of switching to a 20mph Speed Limit
– Reduce the chances of mortality and injury in the event of a collision between vehicles and vulnerable road users.
– Make streets safer for residents and business owners, allowing them to walk and cycle more freely.
– Reduces noise and air pollution.
