Recently drove in Scotland where built up areas generally have 20mph speed limits. I found It made little difference in overall journey time Felt safer, stopping distance much reduced Easier to join the traffic Similar speed as cyclists Felt safer and more relaxed as a pedestrian, easier to cross the road

    In Germany, many residential areas have 30 km/h (~17 mph) speed limits. It’s considered normal, reasonable and safe here.
