Speed Limits: Safety
(asked on 13th October 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of reducing speed limits on road safety for all users.
This question was answered on 13th October 2022
The Department published a comprehensive three-year evaluation of the effect of 20mph signed-only limits in November 2018.
The report found that while 20mph limits were supported by the majority of residents and drivers, there was insufficient evidence to conclude that that the introduction of 20mph limits in residential areas had led to a significant change in collisions and casualties.
