To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of 20mph zones.
Guy Opperman
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department for Transport published a comprehensive three-year evaluation of the effect of 20mph limits, which are 20mph schemes relying only on signage, on 22 November 2018. The evaluation considered collision and casualty statistics for all road user types. It showed that typically they resulted in less than a 1mph reduction in average speed.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
