UK Gov could reduce killed and serious injuries on UK roads by 30,000 over the next decade. It just needs to facilitate the same initiative that already exists in one half of the UK for the other half. And its a key component of the Road Safety Strategy it has just announced.
The guidance is dead - long live the guidance
Some thoughts on the Road Safety Strategy and implementing 20mph limits

It's good to see 20mph limits being rolled out in Dorset.
New 20mph speed limits following requests from town and parish councils
20mph limits are to be introduced on
roads in ten Dorset towns and villages. This follows applications
submitted to us by the respective town and parish councils.
We work closely with local councils to support community‑led
improvements and respond to local priorities.

The UK Gov Road Safety Strategy looks to reduce fatal and serious injuries by 65% by 2035. See how 30,000 of these equating to a sixth of the target, could come from a simple initiative that can be implemented by local authorities immediately.

Morning drivers, as you head to work this week, please use your speed limiter. It improves your safety and has a calming effect on surrounding traffic, reducing the impact of the irresponsible. In UK, over 15 people a week die in speed-related crashes. Guidance attached:

What was distinctive about 2025 for 20’s Plenty for Us was how the narrative developed from whether to introduce 20mph limits as an urban/village norm into how they should be implemented.
Will 2026 become the year that UK transitions to a de-facto 20mph norm for urban/village streets?

With a target of a 65% reduction in casualties and a Safe System approach the Road Safety Strategy marks the beginning of the end for the 30mph national urban limit. It's been rejected in all Wales/Scotland and 55% of English authorities. It is no longer credible. www.20splenty.org/road_safety_...
Road Safety Strategy
20’s Plenty for Us welcomes the government’s adoption of the internationally recognised Safe System approach – something that 20’s Plenty for Us had been calling for. A Safe System clearly requires 20mph speed limits in urban/village areas.

The new Road Safety Strategy looks to reduce casualties by 65% by 2035. Wales reduced casualties on built-up roads by a huge 25% by implementing a default 20mph urban/village limit winning international road safety awards.

We have reviewed the huge progress 20's Plenty have made in 2025 in this blog which looks at how 20mph limits are moving forwards as the accepted best practice for urban/village roads. And with the UK Gov Road Safety Strategy adopting a Safe System approach we expect even more adoption in 2026.

Glasgow is set to begin introducing a citywide 20mph speed limit on residential streets, with the rollout scheduled to start in early 2026. The SNP-led city council has confirmed the changes will apply to almost 3,700 roads across the city.

All the evidence is clear, that lower speeds that protect road users are a key element in any Safe System approach to road safety. And any Road Safety Strategy cannot ignore the requirement for 20mph or 30km/h as an urban/village norm or default. We forward to increasing 20mph adoption in 2026.

A New Year resolution for any transport authority should be Resolution 11 of the Stockholm Declaration on Road Safety. Any Road Safety Strategy with 30mph as an urban/village norm will grossly underperform in protecting against death/injury compared to 20mph. www.20splenty.org/wales_casual...

Whether you look at the Welsh Nation, Scottish or English towns, cities and villages or in continental Europe, 20mph/30km/h limits reduce casualties, noise, stress and create healthier streets. Its time to set it as an urban/village default and only increase where evidentially justified.

The results from Wales and elsewhere show a 25% reduction in casualties. So if you keep a 30mph limit on urban/village roads where pedestrians and cyclists mix with motors you are imposing 1/3 more casualties on your community. It's why Transport Professionals are saying #20splenty

The objectives of a default 20mph were explained very well by this Welsh Assembly Member in 2018. And its great to see that since implementing 20mph as the default for urban, built-up areas there have been over 1,000 fewer casualties on those roads.
