BackHighlighting the health benefits of 20 mph

Living Streets has joined forces with the National Heart Forum (NHF), the Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH), and Sustrans, to extol the health benefits of a default speed limit of 20 mph in built-up areas.

We are delighted that such leading health organisations have added weight to the case for people-friendly speed limits. The full NHF statement can be found here; to find out more about 20 mph download our policy briefing.
