20mph on Lambeth’s roads

A 20mph speed limit will be rolled out to all the roads in Lambeth, except for the red routes maintained by Transport for London (TfL) . TFL will fund the street signage and road markings. In neighbourhoods where, despite the signage, speed continues to be a problem the council will consider other calming measures such as humps in 2017/18.

Lower traffic speeds reduce accidents  and encourage more people to walk or cycle  helping to improve air quality.
