20mph speed limits in Bristol

20mph speed limits have been implemented across Bristol to help reduce road collisions, increase active travel and improve local communities. You can also join the conversation by following us on twitter: twitter.com/bristol20mph Lowering the speed limit helps make streets safer for all road users. Those hit by a car at 20mph are far more likely to walk away with bruises and minor injuries than those hit at 30mph. Slower speeds on roads helps to make walking or cycling more attractive options. The 20mph speed limit is part of a broader package of measures aimed to give children more confidence to walk, scoot and cycle. Other measures include bus improvements, travel plans for schools and businesses, local safety schemes all of which will help increase active travel which is great for your health. The 20mph scheme is not a stand-alone project, other measures such as local safety initiatives and pedestrian and cycle training at schools will also help improve road safety. As part of a broader package of measures slower vehicle speeds and increased cycling and walking can help make our communities more pleasant places to live and reduces anti-social road noise. Calmer communities will help encourages use of local shops, clubs and facilities along with improvements to parking arrangements, bus stops and cycle parking.
