Speed limit
The speed limit in Haringey is 20 mph, except for some main roads and streets managed by Transport for London (TfL).
Benefits of a 20 mph limit
Research shows that:
- there is a link between lower speeds and a drop in the number of serious road collisions
- driving more slowly at a steady pace saves and reduces pollution (unless an unnecessarily low gear is used)
- cyclists and pedestrians feel safer on roads
- healthier ways of getting around, like walking and cycling, are encouraged
