thumb 20's Plenty for Us is a voluntary organisation that campaigns for the introduction of a default speed limit for residential streets and urban streets. By seeking to obtain implementation across a complete local authority or community then the organisation believes that worthwhile speed reductions can be achieved without the usual physical calming features. It terms this type of intervention as "Total 20". No physical calming is required and the local traffic authority can make exceptions where appropriate. It is based in Warrington, England with staff in York and London and has local campaign groups throughout the UK. The organisation works at three levels : * Supporting local campaigners in communities who want a 20 mph limit as a default for all its residential roads. As of May 2013 it had 195 local campaigns across the UK. * Lobbying and working with Central Government and local authorities on the benefits of lower speeds and the effectiveness of a Total 20 policy. * Lobbying and influencing transport professionals on the benefits of lower speeds and the effectiveness of a Total 20 policy. ==History== 1999 The Environmental Transport Association begins its 20's Plenty campaign for a limit of 20 mph for residential streets and rural lanes. 2007 20's Plenty for Us was formed in November by Rod King. 2014 over 12 million Britons were living in areas where councils have endorsed the policy of 20's Plenty.〔Chris Medd.
