Mayor dashes hopes for 20mph speed limit across the capital

Plans for a "blanket" 20mph speed limit covering most of London have been scrapped, campaigners claim.
Former mayor Ken Livingstone had encouraged councils to make a wholesale switch from 30mph to 20mph, amid evidence that the slower limits could cut accidents and injuries by half.
But new mayor Boris Johnson now says boroughs will only be allowed to create small local schemes, dashing hopes of a pan-London zone.

A blanket 20 mph for London seems way too restrictive to me, best kept for really residential areas that need it.

The blanket 20 is only so they make it easier to catch the cyclists speeding too.

woo to Boris!

20mph is way too slow, jeeze it would take forever to get anywhere!! And as matt just pointed out..during rush-hour traffic you only move at 5-10mph anyway

I don't... my whole body is in a perpetual state of high motion at all times.

Thrusting doesn't count, it's only forward motion they register!

Myself and the lot who went to Bikesafe know a secret about something else the good old boy instigated. I'll tell you when I see you.
