Lots of people ignore speed limits and, given that is the case, it doesn't seem surprising that more ignore a lower limit. A case of lack of enforcement for sure and does make it feel like a tick box exercise rather than one to actually save lives. Having said that, I guess that if enough people act responsibly then a cultural shift will happen eventually.

There are some strange anomalies with this too. If you come down Honor Oak Park from One Tree Hill, it is a 20 limit. However, just before the zebra crossings and the shop parade, it increases to 30! (Which seems totally inappropriate and dangerous actually, thanks Lewisham). This explains a mystery to me - the empty road speed marking at the end of Devonshire Road - no figure could be put here as it is 20 to the left and 30 to the right.
