To help make roads safer for all, 66d5669271584ed080b12f06798b9539Islington Council introduced a 20mph speed limit on all its streets.
The 20mph limit was supported by residents and road safety groups. The council hopes to change the driving culture in Islington towards lower speeds, and is asking drivers to help and respect the new limit.
Speeding is a criminal offence, and can cause road accidents. Last year 100 people were either killed or seriously injured on Islington's main road network, and the council wants to bring this number down through reducing speeds to a more appropriate level for inner London.
All roads in Islington have a 20mph speed limit except for the few routes managed by Transport for London, such as Upper Street and Holloway Road.
From their press release. TfL roads don't have the limit, sadly.
Tenners-

Ahh that explains it then. The lower portion of Holloway Road seems to be 20mph but once you get to Upper Holloway the signs disappear and it is not really clear what the speed limit is.
Pentonville and City Road must also be tfl roads, perhaps because they are part of the London Ring Road

I thought that was the case but I don't know if it's necessarily true. Pentonville Road, City Road doesn't seem to. At least there are no signs saying it is 20mph.
They may as well piss in the wind, for all the good it does
