Twenty’s plenty - or so they say. The place where I live, the small cathedral city of Ely in Cambridgeshire, is implementing a blanket 20 mph speed limit, which is being rolled out over the next few weeks. Supporters of the change outnumbered opponents by about two to one when a consultation exercise was held last year. Where the signs are already up, as here on the main road next to the street where I live, motorists seem to be happily observing the new limit.

@davidwilkins it’s going to take a while to get used to Downham Road at 20 but in the town and most residential streets that was the maximum speed most of the time anyway!
