England Ponders 20MPH National Speed Limit In Effort To Save 10 Lives A Year Over The Next Decade
Posted on 7/10/2026 by Agent009
MPs will consider reducing the default speed limit in England to 20mph in a bid to reduce road casualties.
The Transport Committee is meeting to discuss whether lower speed limits could be imposed as part of the government's road safety strategy - and whether England should adopt the same default 20mph limit as Wales.
MPs will quiz an expert panel in a session next Wednesday, including Transport for London's chief safety, health and environment officer and the former chair of the Welsh government's 20mph task force.
