So are we just going to sit back and accept our residential roads being made

undriveable by 20mph speed limits?

I'd rather risk my own children being mowed down by someone driving at 30-40mph than face the excrutiating agony of having to crawl along at such a ridiculous speed.

Well we've sat back and accepted all the other petty infringements on our liberty over the last 70 years of socialism, so I don't see why we'd start objecting now.

First they decided you can't drive after a few sherbets. Then it was mandatory seat belts. Next thing, a teacher isn't allowed to discipline a child. Fancy a cigarette? You can't, it's banned. State the truth that a man is a man even if he's wearing a frock? Verboten.

Hell in a handcart, and so on.

Not only that what little space was left has been taken up by ****ing bike lanes. and ridicules speed bumps.

I was a bit annoyed at first, especially getting overtaken by a cyclist but as someone who mainly gets about on foot, and in an era of fear of vehicles mounting pavements, I don't mind it too much now.

To get over it behind the wheel you just have to chill, dude. Get all zen and stuff. It can be quite calming, I've found, if not in a mad b.astard hurry.

Oh you can buy a cigarette. You just have to be punished for doing so by paying ridiculous prices and looking at stupid photos in a plain box kept being big metal doors in a shop.

not long ago you could be 16 and smoke.

I'd have thought in London you'd be quite happy to be able to get up to 20 mph

You're fine in residential streets though.
I find 20 mph a bad speed for my car. that's my excuse.

Great idea*, think of the children. They are the future.

*nobody will pay a blind bit of notice to it

Islington has been 20mph for years.
where the cameras are I follow the rules. Where the cameras aint I go as I please.

The one saving grace around my area is that they've not yet installed any cameras in 20mph zones. In fact, I've not seen cameras anywhere with a 20mph limit. I assumed this was because every **** on the road would be getting about 15 fines a day. Do they exist?

Exactly, I would imagine everybody does.

There was 30k zones in Dublin city centre (K because we are Europeans) and there was a load of complaints at first, people getting walloped with fines.

People need to chill the fúck out a bit. Slow down a wee bit, getting through red and amber lights and getting to your destination a whole 5 minutes earlier is not important.

I saw some in Islington on Balls Pond Road that caught me off guard but didn't get any ticket.
There are also some on Green Lanes between Newington Green and Manor house. Some also on Hornsey Road.

I think your more likely to get done by a camera for stopping in a box junction or driving in a bus lane to be fair. Which I did :-(

Separate note Tower bridge has one apparently.

There's one on Junction Road.

My old man was told by a copper in the city that even though it is now 20mph, they are still only enforcing from 30mph upwards. ie, as far as speed cameras etc are concerned, there is no change.
