Warning! All towns could receive blanket 20mph zones as adding signage to certain areas deemed 'too expensive'

The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (Pacts) is advocating for a nationwide shift to 20mph speed limits in all towns due to safety concerns, despite the higher costs for motorists. The council argues that while implementing and maintaining the necessary signage is expensive, it's essential for reducing accidents. This move could significantly change driving habits and urban planning, emphasizing safety over convenience, and could prompt towns to rethink their road designs and traffic management strategies.
