20s Plenty for Digswell

Across England some 20m people live in local authorities where 20mph has been set for most urban/village roads. Scotland and Wales have set it as a national standard. Results are amazing with Wales recording a 26% reduction in casualties on urban/village roads in the year after implementing.

@roadpoliceBCH Come to Digswell. Loads of speeders on our roads. Catch the New Road and Hertford Road speeders. Lorry’s racing on Station Road today. Many vulnerable road users. Station Road is an apparently a speed watch location. No one is protecting our residents from dangerous drivers.

RP15 – Welwyn This rider was blowing off the cobwebs after winter, but was travelling well over 100mph and weaving through traffic. A serious risk as a vulnerable road user Reported for numerous offences ☀️ brings bikes out, let’s keep it safe so everyone gets home 997 & 582

Another Saturday, another complaint from an elderly resident about @Ocado drivers speeding on a 20mph road. Speeding on residential roads is a danger to everyone. @Ocado @HertsPolice Station Road Digswell approximately 11:05 AM.

Keep yourself and others safe on the road by swapping speed for space. Slow down, keep your distance, and always drive for the road and conditions.

We rightly spend a lot of time discussing risks faced by young drivers. We do not give sufficient time discussing those killed or seriously injured when they crash. Here are just 10 people killed in a young driver collision: strangers to those in the crashed car: 50% every year.

Opinion of 20mph limits within the transport and road safety sector has shifted to a majority in favour of 20mph as a "Safe System" urban/village norm in the last 5 years. Data across 20-30% casualty reduction, insurance reduction and minimal journey delays have tipped the balance. #20splenty

@FedExEurope please ask your drivers not to speed on residential roads. Dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers! @hertspolice

Getting at motorists by preventing them from killing more children 🧐

@roadpoliceBCH Come to Station RD Digswell. 20mph limit treated as a rat running race track. Help needed ASAP. Thankyou.

RP23 - Watford The driver of this vehicle didn’t fancy sticking to the 20mph speed limit so earned himself a free chat with us. Turns out he only holds a provisional licence and the vehicle was uninsured. Vehicle seized and driver reported. 412754 & 406653

@yutrees @roadpoliceBCH 👍🙏

@roadpoliceBCH Well done. More of these off our roads please.

@scarlettmcnally 👏👏👏

Thanks everyone!

Good to see NYC implementing wide-area 20mph limits. pix11-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/pix11.com/… pix11-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/pix11.com/…

Does your police not enforce 20mph? Then show them how others are protecting the most vulnerable road users by enforcing the 20mph limits set to protect them. See how Avon & Somerset Police enforce 20mph limits across Bristol. avonandsomerset.police.uk/request/speed-…

@1974PJM Nice 👌

Old people - are you worried about cash this Christmas? Save £510 by not buying the Daily Mail.

For children walking or cycling to school, "outside the school" is the least dangerous part of their journey. Children need 20mph limit protection on the whole of their home to school route. 20mph "just outside schools" contemptuously disregards duty of care on child mobility 20splenty.org/school_gate_ri… 20splenty.org/school_gate_ri…

@BespokeEB @SimonLBradbury 💯

@SimonLBradbury Your tweet is not a reflection of that article. 20mph limits reduce KSIs. The question is do you find that an inconvenience when driving ? "20mph speed limits represent a relatively cost-effective way to improve road safety and encourage more sustainable modes of transport"

Plans to reduce speed limit to 20mph in #StNeots village slammed as 'waste of money' cambridge-news.co.uk/news/local-new…

In the 1st year of implementing a national 20mph urban/village default limit in Wales there were 630 fewer casualties. None may have been your son or daughter, but they all belonged to someone whose life has not now been devastated. #20splenty where people are. 20splenty.org/wales_casualti…

#TalkAboutRoadDeath - rural roads are where most road deaths happen .. This data has been consistent for decades, but it’s great @nfum have highlighted the problem again and reported in @thetimes @willhumphries_ 👏🏻 Rural roads are the most “deadly” Comparing deaths per billion miles travelled on rural roads (the @transportgovuk measure), in 2024, there were : ✖️ 6.3 deaths on rural roads ✖️ 4.7 deaths on urban roads ✖️ 1.3 deaths on motorways They also report interesting regional differences - e.g. 38% Londoners have been in a rural road crash, compared with 23% of the general population. Given this level of risk, tackling rural road safety should be a big part of the new road safety strategy. @Heidi_Labour @LilianGreenwood @simonlightwood @KemiBadenoch @RicHolden @EdwardJDavey @ZackPolanski @Nigel_Farage #StopRoadDeath
