Straw man alert.
The comparison is between 30 and 20mph. And yes, it is more difficult to cross a road even when cars are travelling slowly where they are bunched up.

As for your last 'point', I don't know how you make out it's a straw man argument. It's a balance of risk.My argument is that it's obvious that the more you reduce speed, the more accidents are prevented and lives saved, but everything we do has a measure of risk. You cannot eliminate it. 20mph on all residential roads is potty, and I think most people know that.

This issue will be Labour's Archilles heal at the next election. And they were doing so well...
