A speed limit of 20mph could be introduced across much of London within three years.
The measure, which would affect central London and residential areas where the limit is usually 30mph, is being demanded by the London Assembly Green Party, backed by road safety experts.
Jenny Jones, the Mayor's Green road safety adviser, said she had discussed the plan with Ken Livingstone and that he backs more 20mph zones, but needed a little "arm-twisting" to accept their introduction across London.

What's the big deal?
20 MPH is already the average speed around Houston.

The new minister for transportation *is* an outsider, but his concept of slow-moving wicker vehicles for London *is* catching on.

Wouldn’t driving over Greenie politicians at 20 mph accomplish the desired end?

I thought it was funny when I went to Canada and saw signs that said ‘Speed Limit 100’.

Dogs can pee on your rear tire at 20 MPH.
