The Welsh 20mph default reduced casualties by 25% and insurance costs by £90m. If done in England expect reductions of 15,000 casualties pa and insurance by £2bn pa. Implementation cost would be approx £0.5bn. For comparison, 1st yr depreciation on new cars registered in England in 2024 was £78bn

Interesting, and given description of smart motorways, can evidence also attribute how many fewer people were injured by smart motorways? (or is the description just on aggerate SMs resulted in 'net +79 fatalities?)

A thoroughly impressive explainer from Global Cycling Network (GCN, not yet on Bluesky) featuring cool interviews from @drianphilips.bsky.social and the ELEVATE project @micromobility-its.bsky.social. Footage from Bath and around the UK. More of this please 😀🚴‍♀️👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ0K...

We did a Kidical Mass in Bath this afternoon, so much enthusiasm from the pedallers and pedestrians. Coinciding with the Jane Austin Festival added some extra colour! 👒🌞🚴‍♀️
