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.

Watch out for Zebras on the side roads
Wales could be the first part of the UK to introduce simplified, permanent side road zebra crossings after a statutory instrument was laid before the Senedd in February.

Can councils afford the waste from maintaining 30mph limits where people mix with motors? The data tells us that keeping 30mph maintains casualties 33% higher than if they were changed to 20mph. It also keeps insurance premiums higher, suppresses active travel and wastes A&E resources. #20splenty

This is such a good read. And a good listen - Inside Health, on Radio 4. "I think the more we understand the mechanisms of how it can cause these effects, the more we can add to the pressure for policy makers to reduce exposure - because that's the answer in the end."
