“We need to design streets around people, not cars”
🙏👍🚲🚶🏽♂️🌺 Enfield Dispatch
This not ok either TfL 👇
*No* phase for pedestrians to cross. Requested for years by PGCommunity and others.
What can we do?
#VisionZero #20splenty
The key factors in reducing emissions in town/villages are :-
Reduce number of car trips
Reduce weight of cars
Reduce repeated acceleration of cars
Reduce speed of cars
Setting a 20mph limit reduces energy for repeated acceleration by 55%.
#20splenty where people are
Latest podcast by Christian Wolmar & Mark Walker has an interesting discussion of the new 20mph limit in former 30mph zones in Wales. '20 is plenty' is much discussed in the Chinley
area 20's Plenty for Us #20splenty Paul Tattam

You may not be a child!
You may not be in a household without access to a car!
You may not use public transport!
But you or one of your family may be one of the 12,000+ who wont be hit by a motor vehicle and killed or injured in Wales over the next decade because #20splenty
Children walking to school is a key indicator of mobility equality in the public spaces between buildings we call streets. And it's so much better for 500,000 children in Wales with a default 20mph urban/ village speed limit. #20splenty to make places better places to be.
Even if it was just
- one less 999
- one less trauma call
- one less conversation with relatives
- one less ICU stay
- one less funeral
It’d be worth it #20sPlenty 🏴
Just back from a few days in Wales seeing my Dad.
Mrs B not impressed we even had to do 20mph on the M4 just because she wanted to keep warm
#20splenty
In places across the UK 20mph is being set where motors mix with pedestrians and cyclists. Well done Wales for doing it the smart way by setting a 20mph default with local authorities making exceptions. #20splenty in communities to make places better places to be.
Many of our local communities are campaigning hard to improve road safety. The statistics are clear, 20mph speed limits dramatically reduce the death rates of pedestrians involved in accidents yet #RishiSunak is against them. #20splenty
Love life ❤️ Love 20
Wide area 20mph speed limits where people are. Not too much to ask is it? Lower limits save lives.
#20splenty
I’m Welsh & my parents still live in Wales. I love the 20mph limits which have been through much of Swansea for years already— they make getting around so much calmer and safer, driving, walking, wheeling & cycling. #20sPlenty
As the summer holidays come to a close, children are heading #BackToSchool this week
Drivers, give yourself lots of time, stay below the speed limit, and watch for pedestrians stepping out and people on bikes.
Be extra vigilant around schools and in built up areas. #20splenty
