Hey Guys,

Not sure if anyone is familiar with this road, but thought I would ask here as well.

Do any of you know what the current speed limit is for Lower Thames Street in the City of London?

I went down it last night and my satnav told me it was a 20 limit, but I have a feeling it was wrong as it also told me there were specs cameras.

Having done a fair bit of googling and I am getting mixed information, some sites say the road is a 30, some say it is a 20, some say it has specs and others say it doesnt.

Just hoping for a bit of clarification from anyone who is familiar with the area.

Cheers

(was gonna post it in the speed forum but im too new :P )

Historically a 30mph zone, but they've been digging it up for what seems like the last forty years. It has certainly been a 20mph zone at times; not sure what it is today.

Believe its 30 all the way down - there are indeed specs cameras as well as gatsos.... it does become 20mph across Tower Bridge tho so some nav systems pick up on that as you pass by.

ah, cheers guys.

Guess there must have been a few unhappy drivers behind me then as I went down the road at 23-24mph lol, and even then the satnav was telling me to slowdown.
