The overall anticipated costs of the 20mph leaflet, inclusive of applicable VAT and covering design, production, delivery, and translation into accessible and alternative language versions, is estimated at £134,900. This is included within the overall costs of the policy change, currently estimated at £32m.
The leaflet explains how to recognise the new speed limit, and the benefits of 20mph. These benefits include an estimated 40% fewer collisions, 6-10 lives saved and 1,200-2,000 people avoiding injury every year. And estimated casualty prevention savings of up to £92m every year.
