Over half of Londoners think councils prefer improving roads for drivers over safety of cyclists and pedestrians, as majority call for more Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and 20mph limits, new study finds (road.cc)

What about this one person I heard about who's old and also blind and she needs to take her cat to the vet and if she can't drive at 30mph past a primary school her cat will die? What about her?

I heard that if her white van drops below 30 the cat explodes.

If 20mph zones were limited to specific areas I think they'd be better received. Richmond borough has made 20mph the default speed limit with exceptions for the top tier major roads (those with A numbers plus possibly a couple more).

It's not even like it's a borough with good (for London) public transport. Everything is busses.
