Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority

Even with the caveats about limited data and untangling causation and correlation, the statistics are striking: the first year of a scheme in Wales where the speed limit on urban roads was lowered to 20mph resulted in about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured.

    I think improved road safety is a great idea. 20mph lowers emissions and wear on both roads and cars.
    I just wish they made it 20mph in other areas, rather than where I drive.
    I think it’s a great idea, and support it. Just… Not in my back yard.
