20's Plenty for Richmond

20mph speed limits can lead to:

• Significant reductions in the number and severity of road casualties: hit by a car at 20mph 1 in 40 pedestrians would be killed; at 30mph 1 in 5 would be killed!
• Lower levels of emissions and pollution
• Reduced traffic volumes and easier traffic flow
• Safer school runs (Britain has one of the lowest levels of children walking or cycling to school in Europe)
• A quieter, calmer, safer environment for everyone, especially vulnerable road users, such as children, disabled and elderley people
• Safer surroundings for pets
