Does anyone have any sticker or apparel/merch recommendations for pro-20mph designs?
I've seen plenty of cranky stickers and car magnets in the opposite direction, but nothing that's pro speed limit.
Looking for uplifting, but could go for "speeding makes you a knob" as well
I figure this is a better outlet than the actual bricks I want to hurl at people powering it down the road (...with multiple schools, nurseries, old people's homes etc). :molotov:
Please boost! :boost_ok:

The roll-out of 20mph limits in Wales is leading to reduced insurance premiums as the value of claims falls which is great news for motorists, as well as those passionate about reducing the costs of road casualties.
Yes the article is from last June - but the point remains the same.

"Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority"
"...the first year of a scheme in Wales where the speed limit on urban roads was lowered to 20mph resulted in about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured."
#Wales’s #20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate? | #RoadSafety

@joerg_spengler was ist das ? Eine Meile? Ah, die USA: 25 Meilen pro stünde: #40kmh #25mph
Dear #USA, I know it is hard, but in #Europa, we don't do just #25mph, we do #20mph Yes that does matter! A lot! #speedkills #30kmh

Personally, I think that part of #Degrowth involves #SlowingDown. Less cars, more pedestrians and bicycles, and if cars are involved, SLOW DOWN!
#Wales - First #20mph year sees 100 fewer killed or badly hurt
David Deans, January 31, 2025
"The first year of a controversial Welsh speed limit saw around 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured on 20 and 30mph roads, ministers have said.
"New casualty data for the first year of the 20mph limit was welcomed by the Welsh government, while the Labour politician who spearheaded the policy said it showed it was 'the most successful road safety intervention in modern times'.
"The figures showed the number of people hurt fell by 28% compared with the same period the year before, with ten fewer dead.
"The number of casualties on 20 to 30mph roads between July and September 2024 was also the lowest for the three month-period since records began in 1979.
"Amid longstanding rows over the speed limit within his own party, former transport minister Lee Waters urged others not to undermine the scheme."

Ein Jahr nach Einführung der umstrittenen #20mph-Regelung in #Wales sind die Zahlen vielversprechend: Etwa 100 Menschen weniger wurden auf betroffenen Straßen schwer verletzt oder getötet. Insgesamt sanken die #Unfallzahlen um 28 % im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Die #walisische Regierung sieht darin eine positive Entwicklung, während Kritiker weiterhin die Umsetzung bemängeln.

@JeniParsons 20mph clearly saves lives. When are the police going to start enforcing it. #20mph #Speed #Traffic

#YoGo is eyeing cities such as #Oxford for experimental launches of their #electric golf buggy thingy: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/24/yo-go-electric-buggy-britain-most-dangerous-roundabout it kind of amuses me that we're always among the guinea pigs for transport experiments. While I wouldn't want to drive one of these, I see them as a useful tool for enforcing the #20mph #speedLimits. #transport #sustainability #ClimateCatastrophe

Welsh Government has latest police recorded road collision statistics from April to June this year show that both collisions (24%) & casualties (24%) on #20mph & 30mph roads (combined) have fallen by almost a quarter compared to the same period of 2023.

"If the driver was travelling faster than 20mph, we would have been a much worse situation"
- a Mother's words make the case for Wales' #20mph limit in built-up areas far better than any politician.

#HighlandCouncil has been leading the way in #Scotland on the introduction of #20mph limits across all our urban areas.
Meanwhile in #Wales data for the first full quarter following introduction of the 20mph default speed limit have revealed a 32% reduction in casualties on restricted roads so that's good to hear.

Campaigners say lower speeds reduce casualties but scheme has since been amended to give people more choice to rescind limits

Fantastic results from #Wales #20mph speed limit - it's making a big difference.
"The total number of casualties on 20mph and 30mph roads...was the lowest quarterly figure on record outside the Covid pandemic"

Foolish backtracking putting politics before road safety. People do not magically transport themselves to schools, hospitals etc. They need, and have the right, to be safe while walking, wheeling, cycling. #20splentyforus #20mph #wales

cycling along the crockenhill-eynsford country road was nice on sunday morning: lycra squad happily buzzing round on two wheels, mayflower hedgerows in full bloom, and some fine displays of non-aggression from drivers. we hypothesised that increased #20mph driving is shifting the needle towards heightened awareness of others. this hypothesis might even be testable from mobility datasets? #AllezLesJaunes

Some observations of a few days in Preston. The roads are just as bad as the ones in Swansea, I was allowed to drive at speeds of up to 30MPH. Fuel consumption was much better, I got to places a bit quicker and despite the incredible speed. I didn't run anyone over.

The “blanket” 20mph limit is not true; neither is a road building “ban”. Mark Harper MP (Secretary of State for Transport) must know that, which means he’s deliberately spreading untruths + misinformation - which he is doing regularly. There’s a word for people who do that, though they don’t like being called it.
