Should the 30mph limit be reduced to 20mph in England as it has been done in Wales?

Transcript

00:00 Hello Leeds, Alex Grant here from the Yorkshire Evening Post and today I asked the public

00:04 whether they believe that local speed limits should be lowered from 30mph to 20mph. This

00:10 follows a similar change being made over in Wales.

00:13 I think in some areas yes, but in some areas no. I mean we know there's some people that

00:22 don't go, don't stay within the law but no I don't think every area should be 20.

00:29 And do you feel like lowering it in some areas would make you more comfortable when you're

00:33 sort of walking about and sort of you know out and about?

00:36 Yeah you have to know that you're not just going to step off the pavement and get knocked

00:43 down.

00:44 Yeah so do you think then that speed limits in some areas should be lowered from 30 down

00:48 to 20mph?

00:49 Yes I do, I think it should be all the way around Marlborough, especially on the main

00:54 street because traffic seems to come with over 20mph.

01:00 And do you feel that it would make you feel more comfortable when you're sort of going

01:04 about the town knowing that the speed limit was that bit lower?

01:07 Oh of course yeah because it would make a lot of difference.
