This was implemented in September, so by March we should have around 5 fewer deaths according to statistics. Such a small number could also be down to other factors.

yes, so we will need to wait longer to make a better assessment

But even that's open to some sort of interpretation. 5 over 6 months, 10 over 12 months, 20 over 2 years, same sort of ratio. Let's also not forget that the 10-12 deaths was an estimate. There are more and more journeys taking place, so if the number barely fell, is it due to that, or people not paying attention to the speed limits? I think if there's a substantial reduction in deaths and serious injuries, then it'll have been worth it. My gut instinct is that it'll have made little difference.
