I don't understand the logic whereby people support 20mph on residential roads to reduce pedestrian deaths but not on arterial or main roads where most pedestrian deaths happen. Is someone's life suddenly cheaper on a busier road? What does that tell us about our values?

The anti-20 petition in Wales is so full of misinformation that it is difficult to see how any Member of Senedd could take it seriously. Limits are not set by popularity polls or click n' share petitions but science and evidence. See our critique at 20splenty.org/w_faq08

Listening is good, but when it's a choice between listening to whiners and paying attention to the overwhelming evidence that 20mph saves lives, maybe do the evidence-based thing instead?

Adam Reynolds Andrew Gant TVP Roads Policing AutoSpeedWatch We are very supportive of the Oxfordshire 20mph scheme, over 200 communities have requested the safer limits, >80% of towns/parishes, with all colours of political support. And the prog is below budget.

Advocate for Mobility - Concerned Oxford Residents Opposing 20mph in villages simply brings the opinion of the Police into disrepute.

There is wide force-by-force variation on this and other road crime matters. Maybe it’s time we got a bit of national Policy.

We need the Police fully backing areas of public concern on speed.

The roll out of 20mph speed limits is something Andrew Gant should rightly be proud of. 20mph speed allow much more effective road calming interventions.

Some people in Wales have been asking why the money for 20mph limits couldn't have bought extra teachers or nurses. Well we did the maths and it's not many. Either:
1 extra teacher per 20,000 pupils or
1 extra nurse per 4 hospitals.
