Abstract
A recent article in this journal argued that climate change represents an opportunity for injury control to advance its aims.1 This paper examines the policy of lowering the default speed limit in residential areas (the speed limit that would apply across all residential areas), long advocated by injury prevention and public health professionals, to see how this could be advanced through shared agendas.23 The paper also comments on how public health professionals are uniquely placed to bring together these shared agendas and further the injury prevention cause.
