A UK survey shows most adults oppose lowering speed limits to 20mph, despite evidence of improved safety.
A February 2026 survey of 1,000 UK adults found 66% oppose lowering 30mph roads to 20mph, with 67% calling 20mph limits too slow, despite government efforts to cut road deaths and serious injuries by 65% by 2035.
Wales has led the shift with a default 20mph limit, showing about 100 fewer serious injuries in its first year, while parts of England, Scotland, London, and the North West are adopting similar measures.
Evidence suggests even a 1mph average speed reduction can lower crash rates by 5%, but public skepticism remains over journey times and practicality.
Local authorities balance safety, traffic flow, and public opinion when setting limits, and drivers are urged to follow signage to avoid fines, penalty points, and higher insurance costs.
Una encuesta realizada en el Reino Unido muestra que la mayoría de los adultos se oponen a la reducción de los límites de velocidad a 20 mph, a pesar de la evidencia de una mejora de la seguridad.
