| Title: | Is 20 plenty for health? Evaluation of the 20mph speed limit networks in Edinburgh and Belfast on a range of public health outcomes | |
| Project Description: | To evaluate and understand the processes and effects of city-wide 20mph legislation in Edinburgh and Belfast. The focus will be on health-related outcomes (active travel and casualties) and the pathways and processes that cause this transport policy to have public health benefits. Alongside this will be research into the political and policy factors (conditions) which led to the decision to implement the new speed limit, with a view to understanding possible transferability and national impact. We aim to address significant research gaps identified by recent syntheses of literature on 20mph zones; principally these being a lack of evidence on the impact on walking and cycling and inequalities, and lack of longer term monitoring periods | |
