20s Plenty for Us
This is a national campaign that has come to Bristol. Its aim is to replace the default speed limit of 30mph in residential areas with 20 mph. Bristol is proposing a couple of pilot schemes but it would be much more effective and probably cheaper to introduce it city wide so no one is in any doubt what the limit is. There is a web site at www.20splentyforus.org.uk with more detail and resources to download. CHASE has agreed to champion the campaign in the HCCA area and needs someone to head it up. We are lucky in having the resources of the HCCA to use and there is a Bristol group up and running. The advantages seem obvious. If you live in a 20 zone you are much more likely to see the advantage and drive slower in other people’s streets. Even though you can rarely exceed 20 here it doesn’t stop some rat runners trying! Please contact James Smith via the HCCA office if you could take this on.
