Driving at 30mph instead of 20mph in an urban environment doubles the fuel and energy required every time you stop and then go back to speed limit, reduces a driver's field of vision, doubles the braking distance, doubles the noise and reduces your journey time by seconds.

Far more fuel is used accelerating to speed limit than steady driving. So minor differences between steady 20 and steady 30 are trivial. As it requires 2.25 x the energy to reach 30 compared to 20mph then reducing limit will help emissions in real-world urban driving.

20mph and 30kmh limits have existed for 30 years across the whole of Europe (and I include UK in that). The idea that cars are not "designed" for the 20mph or 30km/h limit set to protect vulnerable road users in communities is simply not credible.

Of course some people don't like driving at less than 30mph on roads within communities. That's why 20mph limits are set to make living in them more pleasant for residents and making them better places to be 24/7 for people walking, cycling, chatting, shopping or sleeping.

All over the UK children find walking or cycling to school easier and safer because local authorities of all political colours setting 20mph limits on roads they use. Lives are being improved and lives are being saved. Its popular and cost-effective.

Some drivers think its "not fair" and "inconvenient" to have to reduce their speed to 20mph in residential areas where space is shared with under-protected and vulnerable road users. But most drivers do understand the need and benefits of #20splenty where people are.

When drivers say "since a 20mph limit I have seen more pedestrians crossing the road" what they really mean is "now I am driving slower I actually notice pedestrians crossing the road rather than going faster and being oblivious to them". #20splenty where people are.

The idea that 20mph limits are only required outside schools is flawed. Children need 20mph on their whole route from home to school. So does anyone walking to or near shops. The need doesn't disappear on main roads because you find 20mph "annoying"

For most cars driving at 20mph requires no more RPM than at 30mph, but uses a lighter throttle. Hence steady-state mpg is similar. In repeated acceleration to limit energy required to 20mph is less than half that for 30mph. Slower is calmer, quieter, safer and cleaner.

Lot's of talk of "war on motorist" from those who should know better. See the detail on what kills most on the roads and you find its motor vehicles. Protecting vulnerable road users by lower speed limits isn't "war". Ask anyone from a real war zone.

Driving in central London is only possible due to the millions of Londoners who choose not to drive and instead walk, cycle or use public transport. Otherwise London would be un-driveable. The new @TfL 20mph limits are a great opportunity for drivers to say thank you.

Of course 20mph seems slow to drivers. That's the whole point. And it also seems slower, calmer, cleaner, safer and quieter for all the people who are not in cars and living their lives in communities. It's why #20splenty where people are.

The science says that reduce road average speed and you reduce casualties. The science says that set 20mph limits and you reduce speeds. The science says that 65% of people support 20mph limits and only 11% object. It's time for 20 as a national urban limit. #justdoit

Don't be fooled by the Welsh anti-20mph petition. Once the minority of motorists opposing 20mph on residential streets and the anti-Labour activists had been triggered by the setting of 20mph limit in September, signature signing fizzled out. Only 3% of signatures were since Sept

The call for 20mph limits in communities is strong. Local councils can deliver but equally national governments need to facilitate. Well done Wales which sets a national 20mph default and let's local authorities decide where 30mph makes sense.

20mph limits are not just about protecting children you can see, but the ones you don't see. The parent you don't see refusing their child's wish to walk their streets, or the elderly fearful of traffic speed on their walk to the shops. Its why #20splenty where people are!
