20mph zones planned in many cities

Residential areas in Britain’s towns and cities could all end up as 20mph zones.

Portsmouth City Council recently announced it was taking advantage of Government legislation which allows local authorities to ditch 30mph limits for the slower 20 mile limit on streets where people live.

It's not only Portsmouth introduding this new legislation, Manchester City Council is also scheduled to introduce 20mph zones in all residential areas, with the priority going to streets near schools.


Aberdeen’s civic leaders cut the speed limit in the city’s main shopping precinct last August. The point of 20mph zones is to try to cut casualty rates among all pedestrians and cyclists, but especially children. Portsmouth officials believe it will lower average speeds by up to 4mph.
