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.
I’m all in if this means there’s a public transportation option that goes faster than that, so I’ll only use my car if I must, but knowing there’s always a quicker way.
