Changing the speed limit

[butters]

Off the back of yesterdays tragic events, I was wondering about the speed limit on some of the local roads. Living on Newlands Park, seeing cars speeding at sometimes clearly more than 50/60mp when its clear had be wondering on what the actual speed limit was.

I noticed yesterday that there are signs now saying 20mph painted on the road. I don't know how long they have been there, but have read this

http://www.lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/t ... limit.aspx

Looks like 20mph will become the speed limit throughout the borough from September 2016.....looks like it started rolling out in 2014 though so I assume that no one sticks to it!

Also I guess because halfway down Newlands Park the borough changes from Lewisham to Bromley...!

Thoughts? Its clearly not being enforced if it is 20mph.........

Butters,
There's already an extensive thread on this subject in Town Hall....see the thread called
Speed Camera Westwood Hill - Which speed???

I just thought that Lewisham had a job lot of white paint they wanted to get rid off. Also the speed down the High Street cannot be more than 20mph anyway.

A bit like those mini-roundabouts that spring up. I can just imagine the conversation:

Worker 1: "Well, that was a good job done. What are we going to do with all this left-over concrete and white paint?"

I'll leave it to you to continue the conversation.

As a pedestrian in London, I'd appreciate a 10mph limit and speed cameras on every junction.

I agree 100%.

We want thousands of speed cameras with heavy fines for abusers.

Glasgow uses the slogan twenty's plenty, which in an urban area it clearly is

I have to agree with my learned friend.

On this matter he speaks with wise words.

I hope it helps. There have been 3 (minor) crashes outside my house on Sunnydene Street since I moved in 6 weeks ago.

Are you sure that " Twenty's Plenty" is not Glasgow's exhuberant take on responsible drinking ?
