Rejected petition Oppose 20mph speed limits on primary London borough roads

Establish more realistic speed limits on primary roads. A hindrance to local boroughs, slows down traffic to unrealistic level and causes more anger and frustration to local drivers.

More details

Drastically cutting speed limits does not improve safety nor does it drastically cut carbon emissions as constant idling is a serious issue.
