But the report ruled out a blanket 20mph limit, which means the speed limits on arterial roads will remain at 30mph and 40mph.</p> <P>
Richard Bradley, a spokesman for the Life Begins at 20 group, said: "We're delighted that the council has decided to move forward and consult residents on bringing in 20mph limits.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theoxfordtimes.net/news/headlines/display.var.2401759.0.20mph_limit_plan_moves_forward.php"><P>"We would encourage the council to consult widely and include the young, the elderly, car drivers, cyclists, bus users and neighbourhood action groups.</p> <P>
