Even with the caveats about limited data and untangling causation and correlation, the statistics are striking: the first year of a scheme in Wales where the speed limit on urban roads was lowered to 20mph resulted in about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured.
Well we don’t have large sea mammals that roam our streets here in America so it’s never been a huge issue. I mean 20 mph seems excessive really considering their size.
They’re big, but the number of unsuspecting drivers making a wrong turn and driving into Wales is shocking…
