<p>I was reading this <a href="http://www.bikeradar.com/beginners/news/article/cycle-friendly-20mph-limit-for-london-14151">http://www.bikeradar.com/beginners/news/article/cycle-friendly-20mph-limit-for-london-14151</a> Article on Bike Radar and was wondering how it would go down in Irvine?</p>

<p>To save you some reading, basically, Mayor of London Ken Livingstone is backing an idea that they have a blanket 20mph speed limit in London...I assume he means the <strong><em>City </em></strong>of London, which is only one mile square, not <strong><em>greater</em></strong> london?</p>

<p>Of course, this would mean that those annoying Drivers in Irvine who use Cell Phones whilst driving would have to speed up a little, but what do you think?</p>

<p>Would a 20mph speed limit work in Irvine? </p>

<p> ?</p>

20mph will definately not work. It is designed for people to barrel down the roads at 50mph+. Having a 20mph will make it take so long to go anywhere. There is so much things compacted in 1 sq mile in city of london but 1 square mile of irvine contains absolutely nothing ;P
 
Knowing Ken Livingstone I suspect he would not be limited to central London but would extend as far as the current congestion charges covers (inc west of London - Kensington)
 
You mean it doesn't already? Between the wonderful synchronization of the signals and cell phone talkers, it sure seems that way to me.
 
<p>I own two cars that make over 400 whp. Thus, I will politely have to recuse myself from this discussion. BUT I must say, that people here already drive retardardely slow, why subject us to even more pain and torture.</p>

<p>That is the reason I got out of high hp street cars and raced for 10 years. Nothing to do with 400 hp on the street but burn fuel and add to pollution!!</p>

<p>Oh yea, and piss off Trooper.</p>

<p>Do you ever do open track days?</p>

<p>Enjoy! </p>
