I commute through Islington, a 20mph borough. When I match speeds with the normal traffic flow, it's always (significantly) over 20mph except near a speed camera.
It strikes me that without rigorous enforcement and/or adapting the road to calm traffic, these 20mph zones are a delusion and a waste of money.
'Far heavier penalties' - what do you have in mind?
I wasn't being sarcastic. I was genuinely saying that severe penalties have worked in reducing drink driving.
Couldn't agree more. Personally, whilst I support 20mph limits on residential roads I also think that through routes such as Green Lanes should remain at 30mph.
Yep, doing 19mph in Broad Lane means I get hooted at and flashed at and I'm sure one day I'll get punched for it. There are huge 20 signs all over it. Enforcement is by the drivers who stick to the limit - I've heard a traffic guru say that.
