"Elected City of London Corporation votes to cut Square Mile speed limit to 20mph."
Transport for London's latest figures state that for the first quarter of 2011/2012 the average traffic speed on major London roads for the 12 hours between 7am to 7pm was 19.33 mph and over the same period was 8.98 mph across Central London.http://www.itv.com/news/london/update/2012-11-19/tfl-average-traffic-speeds-are-less-than-20-mph-in-london/

This was started in Portsmouth a few years back and in my mind it just means failure. But then I visit certain parts of Portsmouth with the limit and realise its roads around houses with just a single lane down the centre with cars either side and you can see the hazard. Problem is that if you're at one end of a road and someone is coming YOU have to wait, as soon as the car is past you tend to speed it up a bit to get through before the next car comes along. They have sorted it a bit by making some roads one way but not all are like this.
