A comment on What caused Shimano's Coasting-program to fail? (2010). Parent comment
We recently instituted a 20mph limit across our town (I’m the chair of the town council and also a keen cyclist). We do regular speed surveys.
Not everyone sticks to 20mph. But no one drives above 30mph any more. When we had a 30mph limit, we’d regularly get people driving up to 40mph.
So it’s not perfect, but it does make a difference, here at least.
