Look at the maximum speed recorded column and tell me this table is anything other than complete bollocks. The machine's obviously getting confused and any figure that comes out of it should be ignored.

Not sure if serious?
I've definitely seen people doing 60+ in RP, and I know I could have easily done 90-100 in RP quite a few times if I'd wanted to

The values seem plausible when you consider the sensors were recording non-stop for a whole week. 1 vehicle hit 90+, 3 hit 80+. Sometimes you'll see motorbikes at these kind of speeds on less-open roads than the outer circle.
I don't care to dispute or validate the figures, but they are a part of the consultation for the changes in RP for CS11. I'd imagine there would be all kinds of legal issues for TfL/DfT if they were relying on inaccurate speed surveys and/or crap equipment to justify their road plans.
As @NurseHolliday said - not sure if serious.

Yep - below are some of the survey results - it showed the average vehicle speeds at a lot of the checkpoints were above the speed limit.
They want to take some cars out (maybe by closing gates to eliminate some through traffic) and are worried that will only increase these speeds.
@Mechamorgan - I think you're right - a few less riders jumping reds won't make any difference. Some people always will RLJ, and they will be the focus. Unfortunately the prejudice against cycling is already there (i.e. perceptions of RLJing bikes vs motorists speeding). The speed survey already shows the average vehicle speeds are breaking the law but I've heard much more about RLJing, which is vastly less frequent.
