Take Back Control of the Road with 20mph Speed Limit
My experience is that 20 mph speed limits make a huge difference and I'm delighted to see them being implemented across Wandsworth. The difference between a car or lorry travelling at 30mph and 20mph is very significant and the measure is reducing noise and stress in the residential parts of urban areas.
What I would urge people to do is use the new limits to take back control of the roads. There is no way that you shouldn't have time to cross if a car is more than 100 yards away so do so even if you think it may be exceeding the speed limit. This always makes the driver slow down. I have started doing this even at distances of 50 yards which still give a fit and able bodied person ample time to cross and if I haven't it is because the driver is speeding but I won't rush to get out of their way.
