Comment on Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?
ladel@feddit.uk 1 week agoThe thing about the lamp posts doesn’t really have any significance. Roads in the UK have a default speed limit that doesn’t need to be marked with the speed limit - it’s 30mph for “normal” streets with regular lamposts, 60mph for other roads, 70mph if there’s an embankment thing in between each side of the road. 180m spacing must just be the technical definition for what makes a road 30mph. In Wales, they made default 30mph roads 20mph.
