Cab said:I'm aware of that, and you're aware that people have already quoted studies that back up the claim that 20mph limits improve safety. You seem to be ignoring the point I put forward, that this is as much about perception of safety as it is about safety itself. It is about empowering people to use the roads because they feel safer, and because they feel safer there will be more of them (cyclists and pedestrians), and thus they will actually be safer..
Your post is about the perception of safety. The article is not.

Still sounds like on one hand you're saying "we can't change attitudes so let's lower the limit" and then on the other you're saying "lowering the limit will change attitudes".
