Even twisting rural roads have a 60mph default speed limit and are most dangerous in UK with 10,000 deaths and serious injuries a year

Now Surrey is to pilot 20mph and 30mph - others to follow

The Commonwealth Games shows us clearly that if you make driving private cars harder and make sustainable options like public and active transport easier, people will shift modes.

A great legacy would be for us to remember this simple truth in all our future transport planning. https://twitter.com/ladywoodnorm/status/1556270033780834304
