iamBullivant20mph speed limits save lives. Research from London:
"Child casualties dropped by 46%, and children killed by 75%"
20mph = Fewer maimed and dead children.
Difficult to argue with that.

@bullivant the 20mph limit, in the Scottish Highlands, is viewed as a "war on motorists" 🙄🙄
@mactunag Sigh.
Yet I live in Sevenoaks a very 'conservative' area in Kent which recently voted 'for' 20mph speed limits throughout the town to 'protect the children'.
This was at the same time as the Conservative party nationally was raging against the same 20mph speed limits 'cause 'liberties' or something. Go figure. 🤔
@bullivant they know how to play the electorate =/
@mactunag I think that they (like Labour) are playing to a small chunk of the electorate: Reform curious voters.
Otherwise, the electorate are ignoring them in places like Sevenoaks so it's just making them look stupid and impotent.
