20mph limit in City of London
Discussion
20mph limit across the City of London became active yesterday, covering everywhere in the square mile except for Upper/Lower Thames Street and Victoria Embankment.
Got stopped by a very friendly CoL plod this morning who politely reminded me that this is now the case - they're out in force today with radar guns so you've been warned...

Providing this is enforced upon buses as well, fine - I would have thought it would make a difference if you're hit by one at 20mph vs. 30mph as a pedestrian. I've got a suspicion though that a blind eye will be turned towards them, as it always is, and the rest of us mere mortals in/on our own vehicles will be victimised, whilst those who drive the great big red stinking noisy polluting poverty-mobiles will get away with their abhorrent roadmanship forever more.
(I apologise if you are a bus driver, and a good one at that, but seeing as speed limits can be seemingly blindly blanketed across swathes of city, I shall blanket my hatred of the big red things in the same fashion - ok?!
