Yes - sections of arterial road and the north circular etc may well do, but that's not the vast majority of London, and I would challenge anyone outside of those roads to even do 15 miles in an hour, let alone 30. I recommend that you explore away from the major arterial roads and away from the centre. None of the bits of outer London that I regularly drive through are clogged up and slow. -- David Cantrell | even more awesome than a panda-fur coat European immigration: making Britain great since AD43 |

On rows with slow moving traffic OTOH it could improve residents lives immensely. So, London then? Traffic flows just fine in the vast majority of London, where the vast majority of Londoners live, at about 30mph. Which, presumably, explains why the average speed of traffic in London is about 8mph. The average speed in London is *not* 8 mph. It's 8.something in *central* London, and the average over *all* of London, including the centre, is 19.something. -- David Cantrell | top google result for "internet beard fetish club" THIS IS THE LANGUAGE POLICE PUT DOWN YOUR THESAURUS STEP AWAY FROM THE CLICHE |

According to TfL, it was 7.8mph in central London, and 17.4 everywhere else in 2017 Expect major problems over the next year or three as various bits of the Victoria embankment get closed in one or both directions while they update the sewer under it. -- Tciao for Now!

2018, John Williamson remarked: The average speed in London is *not* 8 mph. It's 8.something in *central* London, and the average over *all* of London, including the centre, is 19.something. According to TfL, it was 7.8mph in central London, and 17.4 everywhere else in 2017 Given the rollout of whole boroughs limited to 20mph I find the latter figure hard to believe.

A quick glance suggests that there are _no_ boroughs that are 100% 20mph; it varies of course, but in general the "first mile" and "last mile" roads are more likely to be 20mph and the "middle 8 miles" tend to higher. Perhaps you could name a borough that you think is 100% 20mph and I'll point out the roads in it which aren't. Cheers, -- Mike Bristow |

I can't be bothered checking which ones, but while a few claim to be completely 20mph, they all have roads which are part of the national trunk network in them, which are at least 30mph, as they can't set the limits on those roads, due to them being under DFT control. -- Tciao for Now!
