Japan follows Spain, Wales, Greece and Norway in setting a national urban/village default of 30km/h. Road Safety professionals argue for nations to either set 30km/h as a national urban/village default or allow cities/administrations to set it themselves.

What's happening here? Maybe something changed part way through 2023 on urban/residential 30mph roads!
I wonder if it could be that from Sep 17th 2023 95% of roads with a 30mph limit were changed to 20mph.
#20splenty making your place an even better, safer, quieter, fairer place to be!
It's good to see Sheffield continuing the roll-out of 20mph to all its communities. The latest Traffic Regulation Order covers Arbourthorne and Bradway.
The UK Road Safety Strategy adopts a Safe System approach with a target of a 65% reduction in KSIs by 2035. With lower urban/village 20mph implicit within a Safe System culture they will become the norm in the UK. #20splenty is making our places fit for the 21st century.
For English Highway authorities who are looking for how they will play their part in achieving the 65% KSI reduction, here is our assessment of how they can move ahead using the Safe System approach to speed limits 20splenty.org/guidance_2026
It's good to see the insurance industry challenging negative rhetoric on 20mph limits.

Great to see this article published today

The number of casualties on those public spaces between buildings that we call roads is a choice. A choice for politicians who create an environment that works for all its citizens or prioritises those in motors. It's why 20mph or 30km/h should be the limit where people are.
It's good to see another community in Wales getting a 20mph limit. nation.cymru/news/speed-limi…

It's clear from all the recent data that 25% of urban/village road casualties can be eliminated by correcting one simple human error!
That error is maintaining a 30mph limit for most urban/village roads.
The Safe System approach will change this to a survivable limit of 20mph.
Calls grow for 20mph limits to enhance road safety despite opposition

Great to see our letter published in today's Guardian

The 224 cities (including 10 from UK) in the Eurocities network of major European cities have teamed up with ETSC to call for national governments to adopt 30km/h (20mph) as a national norm for urban/village streets. See

Great to see that 20mph speed limits are coming to almost 800 more Glasgow streets as the city progresses on its plans for 20mph as the new norm.

Good to see 20's Plenty for Us referenced in this article. 20's coming as more and more realise that, whilst making minimal difference to journey times, it massively improves the livability for all of us in our communities.

Analysis of the 1st year after Wales implemented its default 20mph scheme that changed most 30mph roads to 20mph shows an overall 26.2% reduction in casualties on such streets with car, van and taxi occupants showing the largest absolute and %age reduction. Source is Stats19 data
It's good to see Birmingham City Council ramping up its adoption of 20mph as the urban/village norm for its roads.
