question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment his Department has made of the effect on the number of accidents of road speed limits in built up areas.
tabling member constituency	Birmingham, Northfield
tabling member printed	Richard Burden
uin	222691
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2015 answer text <p>Authorities have been introducing more 20 mph limit and zone schemes across the country, including some which cover very large areas (such as Portsmouth). As the number of zones increase we would expect the number of accidents on 20 mph-limited roads to increase, simply as a consequence of the zones becoming more prevalent. This is not an indication that the 20 mph-limited roads are becoming more dangerous, but rather a reallocation of accidents from 30 mph-limited roads to 20 mph-limited roads. Atkins, and AECOM and Professor Mike Maher from UCL, have been commissioned to carry out research into the effectiveness of 20mph limits. The study will cover many aspects including effects on speed, collisions, casualties and modal shift. The research will also consider best practice, road users’ perceptions and effects on the quality of the environment.</p><p> </p><p>The attached tables show the reported accidents by speed limit, road class and severity in GB for 2010 to 2013.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 03/02/2015 16:15:27 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill attachment 1 file name 222691 - reported road accidents - ras10001.xls title 222691 - reported road accidents

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2015 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has been in regular discussion with the Welsh Government in relation to the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 throughout its development and implementation. The Department is aware the Act is in the early stage of implementation with Design Guidance being published late last year. The Department will continue to liaise with the Welsh Government on the impact of the Act in Wales, however will not make its own assessment on the effect of the Act on walking and cycling rates because the Act applies to Wales, and the jurisdiction of the Department for Transport in relation to cycling and walking applies to England.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 03/02/2015 15:16:10 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
