Mixed feelings, argument in favour, saves lives, decreases pollution.
Against, car cruise control can be set at 30 so the driver can watch the road. Can’t be set at 20 so eyes are on the speedometer. Therefore lives at risk.
Also disruptive to the economy. Delivery drivers, postmen, bus services.

Against with the exception of outside schools.

The 20mph speed limit has started in Wales and is supposed to be coming to England. Are you for or against?

I think the problem is not the statutory speed limit but the way people drive. We have speeding, drink driving and selfish behaviour on the roads, which have nothing to do with the speed limit.

I'd rather see 20mph near schools and hospitals and selected areas, not all built up areas. There is a petition in Wales with nearly half a million signatures and I'm not surprised.
