Plans being developed by Hertfordshire County Council suggest that more than half of the county’s urban roads could be operating under 20mph speed limits within the next two years.

This afternoon 5/2/26, MPs are debating Road Safety. Wales won a 25% reduction in casualties from its national 20mph limit, so please forward this to your MP for discussion. Transport professionals say why it needs a national policy in England, just like Wales or Scotland. See how in the comments.

As more towns say #20splenty, it's time the UK Gov ended the postcode lottery on 20mph limits and dumped the national 30mph limit. Its been rejected by most local authorities. Hear what these transportation professionals are saying about setting 20mph nationally or locally. vimeo.com/1160185854?f...

Its good to see more of the busy roads controlled by TfL being set at 20mph in London. These are where the greatest motor/people interactions take place and have the biggest potential to lower speeds and casualties for drivers and people outside of cars.

Whilst accepting that the Road Safety Strategy is a marathon rather than a sprint, Wales and Scotland are already a sixth of the way towards meeting the 65% reduction in KSIs with their national 20mph policies, Northern Ireland will make progress with its newly announced GDL policy. England?

See first comment: why the previous “Setting Local Speed Limits” guidance is no longer relevant or fit for purpose, and how English highway authorities could adopt the Safe System approach to urban/village speed limits.

Welsh Government has just released road casualty stats for the Jul-Sep 2025 qtr. For urban/village 20/30mph casualties are 33% lower (420) than the same qtr in 2023 (627) before the default 20mph limit was set. More evidence that default 20mph is a life-enhancing and life-saving initiative.

UK Gov could reduce killed and serious injuries on UK roads by 30,000 over the next decade. It just needs to facilitate the same initiative that already exists in one half of the UK for the other half. And its a key component of the Road Safety Strategy it has just announced.

Morning drivers, as you head to work this week, please use your speed limiter. It improves your safety and has a calming effect on surrounding traffic, reducing the impact of the irresponsible. In UK, over 15 people a week die in speed-related crashes. Guidance attached:

What was distinctive about 2025 for 20’s Plenty for Us was how the narrative developed from whether to introduce 20mph limits as an urban/village norm into how they should be implemented.
Will 2026 become the year that UK transitions to a de-facto 20mph norm for urban/village streets?

With a target of a 65% reduction in casualties and a Safe System approach the Road Safety Strategy marks the beginning of the end for the 30mph national urban limit. It's been rejected in all Wales/Scotland and 55% of English authorities. It is no longer credible. www.20splenty.org/road_safety_...

20’s Plenty for Us welcomes the government’s adoption of the internationally recognised Safe System approach – something that 20’s Plenty for Us had been calling for. A Safe System clearly requires 20mph speed limits in urban/village areas.
