20 mph zones save lives

For some time now I've been campaigning to introduce far more 20 mph zones in residential areas across the Cynon Valley. I've argued that they create far safer neighborhoods - particularly for children and reduce the danger of serious injury to pedestrians. I'm delighted therefore that a major new study in London where they've introduced many 20mph zones has demonstrated a rapid fall in deaths and injuries in those areas with much slower traffic. Come on RCT get your act together and help create bettter communities for us all.
