Stop mass rollout of 20mph limits
Proposal against 20mph speed limits
20mph speed limits are being introduced in many areas across the UK, in the name of road safety. However, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that 20mph limits are ineffective and counterproductive.
There are a number of other ways to improve road safety and air quality without resorting to 20mph speed limits
Investing in public transportation: This would make it easier for people to get around without having to use their cars
Improving cycling infrastructure: This would encourage more people to cycle, which is a healthy and environmentally friendly way to travel
Implementing targeted traffic calming measures
