As more and more areas of Sheffield get 20mph status where people Live, Work and Shop, come and hear why this is thought to be such a good thing for our Health, Wealth and Society, and hear answers to some of the objections that are commonly raised to this nationwide initiative.
A major part of the rationale for lower speed limits is Health Improvement. Our contention is that lower speeds mean less Stress, more people choosing Active travel, fewer 'Parent Taxi' duties and more people young and old getting out under their own steam!
