Road Safety Week

 

New data shows significant improvements in road safety in London since the introduction of 20mph speed limits

TFL 13 February 2023
At sites monitored on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN), collisions involving a vulnerable road user have decreased by 36 per cent, while collisions resulting in death or serious injury have decreased by 25 per cent after speed limits were lowered.
Although it can sometimes feel frustrating, and it can be difficult to drive at 20mph it has had a huge impact on lowering death and injuries on London roads.
Roadwise statistics on deaths at different speeds say:
  • at 40 mph there is a 90 percent chance they will be killed.
  • at 35 mph there is a 50 percent chance they will be killed.
  • at 30 mph there is a 20 percent chance they will be killed.
  • at 20 mph there is a 2.5 percent chance they will be killed.

 

“Sadly more than 4,000 people are killed and seriously injured on London’s roads every year. Lowering speeds is one of the most important things we can do to reduce road danger and make it easier and safer for people to walk, cycle and use public transport, creating a safer, greener London for everyone.”

Will Norman, London’s Walking & Cycling Commissioner
