Northern Ireland's Infrastructure Minister proposes a 20 mph speed limit in residential areas, citing success in Wales.
John O'Dowd, Northern Ireland's Infrastructure Minister, has proposed considering a 20 mph speed limit in residential areas, citing its success in Wales, where it reduced serious road injuries. While he doesn't support implementing it as broadly as in Wales, he acknowledges the safety benefits of lower speeds. This idea has received positive feedback from educators and parents, particularly regarding temporary 20 mph zones near schools.
