Fwd: Why Send a Representative to The 3rd Annual 20mph Places Conference?

[Simon Geller]

Would anyone like to go to this - I can't 'cos it's a working day. However, I could make enquiries of CycleSheffield as to whether they could pay travel expenses - I doubt whether they could meet the charity fee of £99 though.

Why Send a Representative to The 3^rd Annual 20mph Places Conference?

 

In 2011 residential 20mph limits without traffic calming won  EU and UK Government best practice status.  Therefore, wide-scale 20mph limit implementations are becoming more widespread and are inevitable. The authorities of 7.5 million people have already democratically agreed a Total 20 policy.

 

Consultation, engagement and implementation incur costs - about £1,400 per km or £2-£3.50 per head - ie £500k for a city of 200,000 people.

 

Coming to the 20mph Places Conference on 1^st May at London Transport Museum has these benefits.

 

*        Understand the issues on 20mph speed reduction without humps

*  Saves the authority money by learning how to consult, social market and implement 20mph limits well.  

*   Understand funding strategies and how to win partner organisation contributions.

*       Save time by having an implementation strategy that works quickly to gain popularity and driver compliance

*      Avoid making mistakes / de-risk your implementation of 20mph limits by learning to avoid potential pitfalls.

*      Learn the best practice evidence on how to most quickly and effectively reduce the number and severity of road casualties through 20mph limits
