No need for speed

on 2011-01-31 15:08:32 in Governance, Safety, Mobility

The mission of 20's Plenty For Us is to establish 20 mph as the default speed limit on all residential roads. In UK, some 3 million people live in areas with 20 mph speed limits. In this video both urban planners and citizens share thier experiences, showing us that not only do slower speeds save lives, but lowering the limit to 20 mph improves the way local streets function in more ways than one. The change has produced wide-ranging benefits, including less traffic, increased walking and biking, greater independence for children, the elderly and infirm, better health, and calmer driving conditions for motorists.
