First time poster here, long time lurker. Apologies, I didn't wish to argue with my first post but the above is complete rubbish.
The super highways aren't segregated in the slightest; that's why they're crap. You can change the limit to 20mph if you want but it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference in central London where the average speed is more like 10. It also won't do anything about wankers in white vans.
So please, 20mph is what you want.
Oh, and it's actually comments like the above that provide TfL and others with a handy excuse for fobbing us off with pointless crap... cycle lanes in the door zone, 'shared use' pavements etc. If they'd be done properly, the super highways could have been great. But TfL said one of the reasons why the highways weren't segregated was because cyclists didn't want them to be.
