Yeah, but what can we do about transport? I mean, we can't ban cars - how are the thirty year olds going to drive to the hospital for their cancer treatment?

IME speed limits do precious little to stop people driving however damn fast they like, unless there's heavy traffic in front of them.

A bundle of points on the licences of the people who ignore the limits will help. Education is what is needed; this is one of the things that 20's plenty for us is trying to do.

This would require actual police presence on the streets - but if it can be enacted, I'm all for it :)

Jaywalking laws and being stricter about teaching the Green Cross Code? Getting people to pay attention when they cross the road might be a good place to start. There was this case in Leeds earlier this year where a girl was killed on a crossing on a particularly busy road when she stepped out before the lights changed, and this case where a man was run over by a bus at Leeds bus station. To get to where he was he would have had to walk past 2 signs that said "Buses only. No pedestrians. Go round to the main entrance"
