Late at night I hear drivers roar past my house on NE Ainsworth (a tree-lined residential street where people jog and walk their dogs) way faster than the speed limit, and every time I imagine setting up a speed activated booby trap that pelts their car with paint balls filled with aircraft paint remover.

Whole scale speed reduction in urban areas saves lives. And reduces injuries to people

In the blanket speed limit of 20 was bought in because Green Party former Cllr Sharron Sumner fought for it. In it took three attempts because the LibDems were at war with each other

Elsewhere in the borough the LibDems wonโ€™t bring it in

We say look after people first - reduce speed

"The Belfast scheme, which was restricted to city centre streets, led to a two per cent drop in casualties and collisions. The researchers said the results reflected the schemeโ€™s narrower reach and its implementation in an area where traffic speeds were already low."

This shows the complete lack of ambition by the Department for Infrastructure. They'd rather spend ยฃ110m on a non-existent road, than make a real change for vulnerable road users and quality of life.

Context is key here. In Belfast the area covered by the 20mph is very limited and includes shopping precincts. The average speed before the trial was already less than 20mph, so reducing the limit had little to no effect.
And now this study is used to oppose 20mph limits elsewhere. It has to be noted that the same study found that the reduction in speed limits in Edinburgh was effective.

While we welcome the introduction of 20 mph streets across most of Kingston & North Kingston, there was a missed opportunity to ensure all RBK streets in the neighbourhood were 20 MPH

We hope and we will press for the whole borough to be 20 MPH

is an issue that affects us all
