On the fence about how powerful lower urban speed limits are? Please read this piece by the mayor of London!

✅ Fewer costly collisions & life-altering injuries
✅ Cleaner air w/ less toxic pollution
✅ Cheaper auto insurance rates
✅ Quieter neighbourhoods that are more walkable/bikeable
Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them. Slower speeds are working elsewhere and will work here in Winnipeg. Making residential streets 30 kph will make neighbourhoods across our city friendlier, quieter and safer for everyone. t.ly/RpHRA

This is probably one of the hardest lessons in transportation planning. The hard part is getting the rules and processes to reflect it.
Never forget, if you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan cities for people and places, you get people and places.

Plan for the city you want.

I'm a moderate on the issue of cars, I don't think they should be banned but I do think they should all be this. Now I know what you're thinking: what if I need to go fast or need more space? That's just too bad
