answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2021 answer text <p>The Government takes road safety very seriously and continues to support activities that promote road safety domestically and internationally, as well as supporting the aims of both the UN and Stockholm Declarations.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities already have the power to set 20mph speed limits where people and traffic mix. The Department’s guidance, designed to make sure that speed limits are appropriately and consistently set while allowing for flexibility to deal with local circumstances, makes clear that 20mph can be introduced both on streets that are primarily residential and on other town and city streets where pedestrian and cyclist movements are high. This outweighs the disadvantage of longer journey times for motorised traffic.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 14/06/2021 14:26:00 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
