I work as Campaign Manager for 20's Plenty for Us. I've updated the first paragraph with Department for Transport guidance reference which allows 20mph limits without traffic calming.Annasemlyen (talk) 16:01, 28 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Tom Bertulis for getting the ball rolling on this. Fine start! We still need more work and it will be good if we can get to it when one of our group has time. I will attempt to dip in here from time to time either to make an addition or eventual suggestions here. 89.156.4.228 (talk) 17:42, 6 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia uses metric as standard and the article should be 30 km/h zone. Also there are a lot more 30 km/h zones than 20 mph zones out there. The redirect page 30 kph zone is also wrong as 30 km/h is the proper abbreviation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.58.148.69 (talk) 14:16, 19 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

30 km/h zone.

It should be noted that a driver could stop the car faster from a high speed such as 50 km/h in a shorter distance than they could from a slower speed such as 40 km/h if they were taught the Left Foot Braking Method. Reducing braking time by 3/4 of a second is paramount. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2:2700:14B0:8939:A7B0:595F:47A (talk) 18:28, 2 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Many commentators advise against the use of left-foot braking while driving on public roads. Critics of the technique suggest that it can cause confusion when switching to or from a vehicle with a manual transmission,^[1] and that it is difficult to achieve the necessary sensitivity to brake smoothly when one's left foot is accustomed to operating a clutch pedal.^[2] Most of the arguments are based on the difficulty of switching from automatic to manual cars, and do not apply to people who only drive automatic cars.^[1]^[2]^[why?]
