A report by Transport for London reveals that the implementation of 20mph speed limits across 157 borough schemes led to a 34% drop in fatal and serious casualties from 1989 to 2013. While some improvements in road safety were attributable to other factors, the data showed that the stricter speed limits contributed to a significant decrease in collisions and fatalities. Critics argue that such blanket speed limits may inconvenience responsible drivers and advocate for more targeted traffic safety measures instead. Officials reaffirm the importance of lower speeds in making streets safer for all.
"Slower speeds not only protect the most vulnerable, they also help create safer, more welcoming streets, and are a vital part of building a safer London for everyone."
