Peter
I am absolutely NOT perplexed on limiting e-scooter speed. The “elephant” is not the limiting of e-scooters, but the not limiting of motor vehicles.

That’s quite a “slur” there Peter. I couldn’t find Bird listed in the members of the Corporate Partnership Board, but I could find a wide range of members from the auto and transport industry.
Your complaint really does seem rather obscure and based on just trying to taint a report that you don’t agree with.
Enough said?

It doesn’t directly answer your question but this may help if you haven’t already read it.
I suspect that the biggest variability across different cities and countries is their provision for active travel.
What perplexes me are calls for e-scooters to be speed-limited whilst permitting motor vehicles to be speed unlimited. A massive elephant in the room.
Hi Geoff
There are a number of updates to guidance and practice since 1999 so this is rather out of date. Currently 28 million people live in authorities where 20mph is, or soon will be, the norm. We have recently put together a document which helps local authorities understanding the best way to implement 20mph limits and this can be downloaded viewed online – COMMUNITIES WANT 20MPH: A BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY
You may also find it useful to attend our one-day conference on 20mph limits – the new norm
This will feature authorities presenting on their 20mph results and plans including Oxfordshire, Cornwall, Scottish Borders and Wales.
I trust that this helps. You can also email me at rod.k@20splenty.org
Best wishes
Rod
