IIRC Southwark were going to include some wording in their 20 mph legislation that would have made it illegal for cycles to break the limit, but they backed down when the legal mess of it became obvious. Everywhere apart from the odd park you can't technically get done for speeding at all.

Given the clusterfuck around Oval this morning, I'm going back to the Walworth Road tomorrow.

I bet this has been raised elsewhere on here. But. 20 mph zones, while
they're great (they are!), isn't it more likely I'm going to get
stopped than a car? Are the zones really enforceable?In other news, bright, sunny, bit cool, still undecided whether going
through Camberwell and Walworth is better than back of Brixton and
Kennington.First, I am not sure that the speed limit applies to bicycles.
Secondly, the enforcement of cars is sporadic. However, many will obey the law and thatt number will increase. Those who will flout it are more likely to drive at 30 mph in a 20 mph zone rather than 40 mph in a 30 mph zone. Overall the speed will drop.
This morning I had a cart behind me most of the way observing the limit. Only when the road widened did another car overtake him and then jump a light. The limit gave me the compliant car. The twerp would have been a twerp whatever the limit. I count that as a plus.
