Good to see Highways Magazine reporting on the success of the life-enhancing 20mph urban/village default in Wales that's proving to be one of the most effective road safety initiatives this century.

We're excited to be working w road safety leaders from across the country this week at the 2026 Safe Mobility Conference in Seattle. Much-needed attention on managing speeds for safety. Thx @AAAFTS

NEW EPISODE! 🚨 London’s road danger reduction plan under the microscope. What will it take to achieve Vision Zero by 2041? Is it possible?
With @willnorman, @adamtranter and Laura Laker.

New @TfL London Speed Limit map just out. Shows huge coverage of 20mph limits (in green).
NB 69% of road casualties in London are on main roads ("A"/"B" classified) so great to see TfL and many boroughs bringing in 20mph on these roads too.

Today, I was proud to join @SadiqKhan to launch London's bold new Vision Zero Action Plan.
Vision Zero is our initiative – with @tfl @metpolice & London’s Councils - to eliminate tragic deaths & serious injuries on our streets by 2041.

If you are talking to parties and candidates in your borough ahead of the Local Elections on 7th May, here are some suggestions for making streets and roads safer and more attractive for people who are walking and wheeling.

Delighted to show @LilianGreenwood & @transportgovuk how we're transforming Lambeth Bridge - formally 1 of the most dangerous junctions in London for cyclists.
The @tfl team's delivering a safer road layout, crossings, bike lanes, signals, bridge protection, SUDs

It's good to see another English county rolling out 20mph limits.

It's another huge benefit for pedestrians from 20mph in Wales as legislation passed today enables councils to install simplified side zebra crossings at junctions where the main and side roads have a 20mph limit.

The successful pedestrianisation of the Grand-Place in Brussels transformed it from a congested car park into a beautiful square.
It now hosts major cultural highlights like the Flower Carpet and the Winter Wonders Christmas market.
Brave decisions can transform the world!

This kind of car-centric infrastructure in a city centre is as a relic of a transport experiment that went wrong. Big roads and mega junctions have no place in busy cities.
A good step is making crossing them in one go much easier.
But it’d be better to remove them altogether.
The James Watt Queensway "super crossing" project in particular aims to improve walking, cycling and public transport connectivity into the city's Knowledge Quarter and Aston University campus.

I was honoured to attend the 10 year anniversary celebration of the Sarah Hope Line - the @tfl run service that supports people affected by life changing or traumatic incidents on the transport network.
It was inspiring to hear from Sarah & the brilliant team that staff the line

The evidence from the 2 years since Wales set a 20mph default for urban/village roads is clear:-
1,270 fewer casualties
134 fewer of them being fatal or serious
£45 pa lower insurance premiums than without 20
These are big wins for communities, NHS, emergency services and economy.

Undercover HGV patrols on Merseyside’s motorways📷
Last week @MerPolTraffic officers used the @NationalHways Operation Tramline HGV cab to spot dangerous drivers putting lives at risk.
In just five days, we dealt with 104 offences, including:
• 22 using a mobile phone
• 16 not wearing a seatbelt
• 18 insecure loads
We’re clear: zero tolerance for the #Fatal4.

Great to be working with @Plaistovian & colleagues from @NewhamLondon.
This new crossing on Water Lane will make it easier and safer for people to walk and cycle in the area.

The new UK Road Safety Strategy with its target of a 65% reduction in casualties and mandating of a Safe System approach, marks the beginning of the end for the national 30mph speed limit. It's no longer credible when its been rejected by all Welsh and Scottish and 55% of English authorities.

The Government has announced its first Road Safety Strategy in over a decade, with a plan to reduce deaths and serious injuries on Britain’s roads by 65% by 2035.

Helsinki, a city roughly the same size as Dublin, has had zero road deaths over the last year. How?
1. 30kph speed limit.
2. Better public transport.
3. Better street design.
4. Better law enforcement.
5. Courage
#Helsinki🇫🇮 jshows us: It is possible to go a full year with zero traffic deaths.🚶♀️🚲🚗
Not a matter of luck.
But a matter of policy.
🚗 Slower streets
🚲 Protected bike lanes
❎ Safer crossings
📝 Data > excuses
Vision Zero works.
Cities can choose safety.
Who’s next?
