Transport for London has published a consultation for changing the speed limit to 20mph on roads that they control in the local area. These include Park Lane, Marylebone Road, Grosvenor Place and parts of Edgware Road amongst others. This would bring these roads into line with all other roads within Westminster, which already have a limit of 20mph. See the full map of the proposed changes.
Further details and the ability to comment on the proposals are available on the TfL website. The consultation is open until 18th August 2021, with the new speed limits proposed to be implemented in March 2022.
TfL say “Speed is a factor in at least 37% of collisions where a person is killed or is seriously injured on London’s streets. This is why we’re lowering speed limits across London”.
