20 mph speed limits have seemingly little impact on crashes, casualties or driver speed according to a three year study.

And the same researcher's study in Edinburgh found that deaths were cut by a quarter and injuries by a third.

"The Belfast scheme, which was restricted to city centre streets, led to a 2 per cent drop in casualties and collisions, and minor reductions.

Researchers say results reflect the scheme’s narrower reach and its implementation in an area where traffic speeds were already low prior to the trial – on average less than 20mph"

It's the same study .The Edinburgh research I linked to ,and quoted, had far different results and included reasons why that Belfast study (which was by the same research team) had limitations.

Funny that WOL only quote the one study though . Anyone would think there was money to be made ,and votes to be won ,by making people angry
