A petition has been launched in favour of the DoI’s plans to rollout more 20mph zones in towns and villages.
This follows a petition launched this week calling on the DoI to halt its rollout.
John Taylor has launched the new petition saying the “hidden danger of high-speed traffic lurking in our streets is not something we should ignore”.
He adds: “Introduced as an intersection of safety and technology, the 20mph project measures more than just the decrease in speed limits. It promises a considerable reduction in road collisions and fatalities, especially where the risks are highest – our homes, in and around our neighborhoods.
“In fact, research in the UK showed a significant drop in the number of accidents in residential areas when the speed limit was lowered to 20mph (Source: Bristol City Council’s 20mph limit evaluation report).
“I believe this initiative would not only soften the pace of life, but it would also bring about more safety and security in our residential areas. By ensuring the roads are safer for children playing, joggers getting in their morning run, or adults walking their dogs, we will cultivate stronger, safer communities.”
