As our kids go #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re afraid of. If more kids walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a massive number of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school. Spread the word.

20mph limits in built-up areas of Wales are reducing road traffic collisions, leading to lower insurance costs.
Really interesting data coming out of Wales. The number of RTC is down Severity of RTC is down Total insurance payout is down Average insurance payout is up because the smaller low speed RTC have disappeared. Car insurance in Wales has reduced by £50 relative to England.
