30mph? Really?
How did you measure it? Or is it a 'my goodness they were going quickly,

It would be nigh on impossible except on a completely clear road, and I
doubt the road there ever gets that clear.


Come to think of it, it wasn't the Tour of Britain final stage they were
thinking of was it? Hordes of lycra clad cyclists averaging 30mph going
through that junction 40 times in 100 mins whether the lights were red
or green. OTOH it was an officially sanctioned closed road race and I
don't remember the peleton hitting anyone.
