However, one city centre case study did show a significant reduction in collisions and casualties.</p><p> </p><p>Overall the introduction of 20mph limits led to a small reduction in median speed (less than 1mph), but vehicles travelling at higher speeds before the change of speed limit reduced their speed more than those already travelling at lower speeds.</p><p> </p><p>Research in 1996 showed that 20mph zones (which have traffic calming) could reduce the overall average annual collision frequency by up to two-thirds.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 04/03/2019 17:32:03 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
