The Integrated Transport Strategy (ITS) strives to achieve a 50:50 mode share of car and non-car trips by 2031.  One of the ways this will be achieved is to increase the use of non-car alternatives where appropriate (walking, cycling, public transport and working from home) by making these options as safe, convenient and attractive as possible.

High vehicle speeds can be a disincentive to walking and cycling, especially near major roads where the speed limits are usually higher.  Speed is also a major factor contributing to the number and severity of crashes.  Lowering speed limits within our streets encourages a safer interaction between all types of road users and results in a more attractive and liveable environment.
