Wales has demonstrated a more balanced approach by maintaining 20mph limits only in specific areas like school zones and high-risk locations. This targeted strategy ensures that safety is prioritized without imposing unreasonable restrictions on the entire region.

The recent changes to implement a blanket 20mph speed limit across large parts of Cornwall are deeply concerning and inappropriate. As someone who travels frequently across our beautiful region, I have witnessed firsthand how these changes disrupt daily life and create unnecessary challenges for drivers.

While the intention behind these speed reductions might be to enhance safety, it's crucial to acknowledge that not all areas of Cornwall face the same level of risk. This blanket approach fails to consider the unique characteristics and traffic needs of each area. Instead, it results in widespread frustration and inconvenience for residents and visitors alike.

It is essential for Cornwall Council to reevaluate and revert its decision. By adopting a more nuanced approach similar to that of Wales, the council can achieve its safety goals while respecting the mobility needs of the community. Urging Cornwall Council to consider the unique needs of each locality will not only uphold safety standards but also ensure smoother transportation for everyone.

Sign this petition to demand Cornwall Council to revise the 20mph speed limit policy and focus such changes only in schools and high-risk areas. Let's push for a sensible and practical solution that truly benefits our community.
