Most of us want to live in a
quiet, pleasant street. A safe street in which children can play out alone; a
friendly street in which you can meet your neighbours.
No one wants to live in a
hostile street that you cannot walk across thanks to a fast-moving traffic; a
noisy street that is an occasional race track.
Life Begins At 20 is Oxford’s
campaign to bring traffic speeds down to 20 miles per hour across the city, as
part of a wider vision for creating the kind of streets in which we really want
to live.

What are Life Begins At 20’s
aims?
We aim to persuade
the people of Oxford of the attractions of safer, quieter city streets.
We aim to convince
the city and county councils to make Oxford’s streets more focused on
people.
In particular, Life
Begins At 20 aims to convince Oxfordshire County Council of the need for slower,
pleasanter streets with 20 mph areas extended to cover all of the city, as it is
the county council which controls most of the city’s streets.
