Logistics Skills Alliance launch 2025 Logistics Vision - a national platform
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan,
I don’t accept that deaths and serious injuries on London’s roads are something we just have to put up with.Every single death or serious injury results in heartache and tragedy for those affected, and their loved ones.
Our bold and far-reaching plans being announced today are some of most ambitious in the world, and start from the basis that no death or serious injury on London’s roads should be treated as acceptable or inevitable.
At the heart of our plans is reducing the dangers of speeding vehicles across London, which is why we’re proposing a new general speed limit of 20mph on TfL roads within the Congestion Charging Zone - protecting cyclists, pedestrians and all road users in the busiest part of the capital.
Mayor, TfL and the Met launch the boldest ever plan to eliminate deaths and serious injuries on London’s roads
