REACTION: IAM RoadSmart responds to the latest Department for Transport data on speeding
Responding to today’s DfT speed compliance data, published this morning:
IAM RoadSmart Director of Policy and Standards Nicholas Lyes said: “Excessive speed is one of the biggest causes of fatalities on our roads, which resulted in more than 300 deaths in 2023. These latest figures on speed compliance paint an improving picture on 30mph-limited roads. However, the proportion exceeding 20mph limits remains astonishingly high. This further shows that speed limit changes alone are not sufficient and that enforcement and traffic-calming measures in these zones are imperative.”
