Cycling UK/YouGov Rural Speed Survey
Cycling UK commissioned a YouGov survey showing broad public support (around 79%) for lowering 60mph limits on single-lane rural roads through villages and on narrow, winding roads; the results were used to push for government action and amplify calls from allied road-safety groups.
Why it worked: It piggybacked a fresh government Road Safety Strategy with nationally representative YouGov data showing overwhelming, cross-demographic backing—giving journalists newsy numbers and policy urgency.
The lesson: Consider fielding a reputable, nationally weighted poll timed to a live policy window, then offer embargoed, region-sliced stats and ready expert quotes.
