TfL hopes by 2024, about 125 miles of its roads will have a 20mph speed limitNew 20mph speed limits have been introduced across on stretches of roads in five London boroughs.
The new speed limits are part of the London mayor's Vision Zero plan to eliminate road deaths and serious injury. The plans have been met with resistance from some drivers who complain the new limit will make congestion in the capital worse.Steve McNamara, chair of the Licenced Taxi Drivers Association, told BBC Radio London: "On an awful lot of streets, it is totally impractical to drive at 20mph where there's no risk to pedestrians at all.
From 1 May 2020 to 30 June 2022, the number of collisions fell from 406 to 304 and the number of collisions resulting in death or serious injury decreased from 94 to 71.
