Cyclists blast proposals to introduce 10mph speed limit on Richmond Park hill The planned restriction comes less than a year since The Royal Parks said it would clamp down on cyclists riding “recklessly” cycling
in the parks under its management that they will be subjected to a crackdown – including fines and even prosecution – for recklessly endangering others.
“The Royal Parks is currently reviewing and updating its regulatory signage to ensure cycling and other behavioural messages are communicated clearly to visitors,” a spokesperson said at the time. The Metropolitan Police added: “We acknowledge that while most visitors who cycle in the park are law-abiding, a small minority are not and their behaviour is an issue of concern for the wider public as well as other cyclists.
One cyclist called on The Royal Parks to “get on with removing the actual road danger instead of wasting time on this”, while another said that “they should first enforce the 20mph speed limit inside Richmond park, a lot of people drive faster than that”.
