@itvnews: Birmingham is aiming to become England’s next 20mph city by lowering speed limits on most of its roads. The city’s council announced it is pushing for all routes classified below A-roads to become 20mph zones. That policy was implemented in 2023 across Wales where, during its first year, about 100 fewer people were killed or seriously injured on 20 and 30mph roads. But, those against it say it’s a war on motorists. #birmingham #20mph
why just Brum? is it because the council needs to find another way to fund their pockets after the "bankruptcy" claim?

It produces more pollution in the air because of the gear ratio

don't see a problem with it, 30mph on residential roads is too high. If reform are against it it's probably a good idea

If you cannot drive your car at 30 miles an hour without causing an accident that you shouldn’t be driving so why do we need 20 mph? It’s just control done too far.
