So, London then?
Traffic flows just fine in the vast majority of London, where the vast
majority of Londoners live, at about 30mph.
Which, presumably, explains why the average speed of traffic in London
is about 8mph.
I suspect different definitions of “London” are being used. I would guess
the 8 mph is central London, which is not where the majority of “Londoners”
live.
