We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Restore the balance between traffic and people by making 20mph the default speed limit in towns to remove traffic threats to pedestrians and cyclists, children and the elderly. More details
Submitted by Dr Stephen Peterson – Deadline to sign up by: 27 May 2010 – Signatures: 177
More details from petition creator
A 20mph speed default speed limit in towns would improve safety, quality of life, urban environment and health by encouraging more active travel, particularly by children. It would make town streets less treatening to vulnerable pedestrians and improve community. It would help counter obesity, reduce carbon emissions and improve our record of pedestrian casualties by encouraging less car use for short journeys including the school run.
