So, London then?
Traffic flows just fine in the vast majority of London, where the vast
majority of Londoners live, at about 30mph.
Please cite evidence because this is just not my experience for the
large majority of roads in London that I travel on and/or have seen.
Yes - sections of arterial road and the north circular etc may well do,
but that's not the vast majority of London, and I would challenge anyone
outside of those roads to even do 15 miles in an hour, let alone 30. |
Only those sections of the North Circular Road which have not been "improved" by TfL allow traffic to flow smoothly. Those sections which TfL have "improved" e.g. New Southgate and Palmers Green are now far worse than they used to be. TfL strikes again!
