"Prioritising cars in this way serves no one - not pedestrians, not cyclists, not users of public transport. It doesn't even benefit drivers, who will face more congestion."

Rishi Sunak could limit 20mph zones to target driver vote

The PM is expected to order councils in England not to lower speed limits on main roads.

@denny No, *this* is my surprised face.

@denny it's a little frustrating to be doing 20mph on a road you were taught and believe it is safe to go faster on.

It's more frustrating to be tailgated and aggressively overtaken in that circumstance.

And that doesn't matter; 20mph is so much safer and more welcoming for active travel that the frustration felt is far outweighed by the benefits.
