BBC News has a rather fascinating article on how the 30 miles per hour limit came in to force. You can read it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31904471. Did you know for example that in 1934 there were one tenth of the cars on the road that we have today but four times as many deaths? Here at Car Articles we always like to consider where we have come to understand where we might go. The BBC article provides a great foundation of knowledge for when you might argue for a higher limit; or indeed a lower one. Have a look at the full report and as always comments are welcome in the section below.
