Police canvassing for 20mph in central london ?

[menousername]

Recently I have seen Police mulling around in the road, on the central reservation of Queen Victoria Street just near St Pauls

Didnt really think much of it until today I saw a PC hand a UPS driver a flyer while stuck in traffic. I saw the flyer had a 20mph sign on it. As I passed I also saw a newly built police booth on the central reservation again with the 20mph sign on it

anybody know the story here? Are police notifying drivers of an impending 20mph limit?

Thoughts?

20 mph speed markings have just popped up down the road on London Wall. I think they've done it.

20mph limit for the City of London came into effect on 20th July I believe

obviously more than 20mph in central london is optimistic anyway but it can happen... quite often I see the roads fairly empty (curtesy of congestion charge etc)

seems odd to me an international capital city basically locking itself down to a crawl like this, no doubt enforced by an increasing number of speed cameras

The City of London Police (who are separate to the Met) have agreed to enforce the 20mph limit, outside of the City it’s a little more complicated
