New 20 MPH speed limit to also apply to bikes in Southwark

39mph in a 20 zone. The driver's sentence was cut on appeal to 12 months.

Leaving aside the joke of a sentence, for an uninsured speeding driver who killed a child, that case illustrates the law of inintended consequences. The driver in that case lost control on a speed bump. If the road had not been in a 20mph zone but in a 20mph limit there would have been no speed bump and the crash may not have happened.

I hope therefore that if we now have borough-wide 20mph limits there's no longer any need for the 'zones' with their "self enforcing" road hazards, and all that stuff gets removed. It can be replaced with actual enforcement.
