What should be the function of our streets?
Streets are not just for vehicles, they are also placeswhere people live, work and spend time shopping
and socialising.
and goods from place to place
Streets need to be safe and not daunting or
unpleasant for people walking and cycling
We aim to make our streets more liveable spaces;
will lower speed limits help achieve this vision?

Why set lower speed limits?
Numerous studies demonstrate that lower
speeds are safer Higher speeds cause more accidents, and more
severe injuries from accidents
At 20 mph there is a 2.5% chance of beingfatally injured, compared to a 20% chance at 30
mph
20 mph zones and limits were brought in by theGovernment in 1992 to improve road safety
