Wythenshawe Speed Limits to Drop | Manchester News

Manchester’s Wythenshawe is set to slash speed limits on 486 roads from 30 to 20 mph in a bold move to slash road deaths and injuries — with over 1,000 people killed or seriously hurt annually across Greater Manchester. Officials argue slower speeds mean safer streets for walkers, cyclists, and drivers alike, while dismissing fears of gridlock — saying bottlenecks stem from junctions, not speed. Key arterial routes will stay at 30 mph, and public reaction is split: some question the cost and compliance, others applaud the change. The consultation ends September 18.
