Transport chiefs are planning to slash the speed limit and introduce a
cycle lane on a key central London road in a bid to prioritise buses and
cyclists.

Do subsidised vehicles in London ever reach 20mph?

The important point to take from that, is the prioritising of cyclists.

I knew that was going to be Tooley Street even before I went to the URL.

Can traffic actually reach 20mph for most of the time in that street
(which has already had lots of sabotaging attention from the TaL)?

Maybe at 03:00...

The image is fake, it shows motor vehicles parked on the footway and that never happens.

Where?

If you are thinking of the licenced taxis on the south side of the
street, they are in a carriageway lay-by dedicated as a taxi-rank. IOW,
they're not on a footway (have you ever seen a taxi-rank on a footway?).
This was in force during the construction of the Shard complex, the
refurbishment of London Bridge station and the laying-out of a new bus
terminus in that immediate area (accessed from Borough High Street).

Since that stock photo was taken, some years ago, that temporary lay-by
has been reconstructed as part of a new and repositioned footway. The
taxi-rank has been moved round to the area immediately in front of the
station concourse (where there was a taxi-rank before the redevelopment).

Happy to help. You need it.

PS: The photo shows quite a few bicycles parked on the footway.

Maybe one day you will grow up enough to respond to a post without the playground name calling.

Do you mean playground childish behaviour like yours when you accused
the drivers of "motor vehicles" lawfully using a taxi-rank of being
"parked" on the pavement?

You could only arrive at that (wildly incorrect) conclusion through
ignorance and prejudice, two qualities you possess in abundance.

shrug

You're the one with the ignorance and the prejudice. I merely pointed
out that fact.
