Setting local speed limits – developing guidance aligned to the Safe System
This workshop will set the scene by explaining existing speed management approaches across the country, with examples drawn from the expertise and experience of members of the Safe System Network.
This will be followed by a time for discussion about how guidance, based on a set of core principles, can serve local transport authorities to deliver benefits for the public.
