Simon HobeckBristol city council are proposing to introduce 20mph speed limits on several roads across the city. There is a consultation to hear from local residents. Its quick and easy to complete.

😀🚲> The problem here isn’t speed, it’s context. It’s mixing slow vehicles with fast ones without giving either group the tools to navigate safely.
> ... And the riders? For the most part, they’re not daredevils. They’re commuters. Parents. Students. People who want an alternative to driving that doesn’t make them feel like second-class citizens on the road.

#trafficEngineers like to say safety comes first, but they mean the crosswalk signal makes walking illegal after a few seconds while the green light stays on for several more seconds, partly because the street has been made twice as wide as necessary, "for safety". They're just ensuring car speed, and that almost nobody who can afford a car will walk, bike, or take transit. This is fundamentally the opposite of safety. #20isPlenty #FuckCars #BanCars

@RickiTarr I rarely drive anymore but speed is highly context-dependent, most people shouldn't be doing 30 in a #20isPlenty / school zone but state law, infrastructure, infrastructure, and enforcement fails to differentiate that from 65 in a 55mph zone in a straight line through a wide flat space on a clear dry day.
This SW 26th sidewalk with the woop-de-do driveway humps is supposedly a two-way bikeway. Maybe they should put some of the trash cans and mailboxes in the street to slow down the cars better than the plastic #20isPlenty signs.

#UK’s 20mph speed limits are cutting car insurance costs
Lower speed limits are not only safer, but also more economically convenient for drivers!
