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.


The average speed in London is *not* 8 mph. It's 8.something in
*central* London, and the average over *all* of London, including the
centre, is 19.something.
