Default 'Digital' cameras on Upper Thames St (20mph zone) in City?

Why is there a 20mph speed limit there?


Good question, there are no pedestrians and no residences.

I'd like to know why Queen Street is blocked, converting Southwark Bridge
into a bridge that there is no reason to use. They certainly wouldn't build
a bridge today that isn't the shortest route from anywhere to anywhere [1],
so why instigate traffic management that turns an existing bridge into a
useless one?

[1] Apart from unused bridges built as part of abortive schemes.
