I’d love to bike on those roads!! Apparently it’s a state rule that city roads can’t be less than 30mph here.

It is quite amazing to see a collection of people who recognize that speed is a major factor in crashes (not accidents!) and are willing to do something about it.
Yeah, forget Orlando, and so many other places in FL. One community in the Orlando area, I’ve forgotten where, was having problems with traffic-light-avoidance drivers cutting through their neighborhood. They installed speed bumps at their own expense and were forced to remove them, or had them removed. I didn’t think of it at the time, but a simple solution to their problem would have been to put some local residents on bikes on the cut-through roads, operating in a safe, vehicular manner. Make the road unattractive to use as a cut-through and things will slow down.

It is good to see positive action to reduce speed limits in higher risk residential areas, but it does seem to be fairly meaningless without enforcement and driver awareness of the issues. The UK seems to be having a bit of a crisis in terms of speed limits and enforcement, with many drivers strongly opposed to speed cameras, which they see as a revenue-raising system and not a safety issue (and remember, all UK speed cameras are painted in bright colours so that drivers can see them and slow down to the legal limit in time).
A 20mph limit is only any good if people stick to it and/or it is enforced and most likely neither will happen. I would be more impressed if Islington had proposed more natural methods of speed control, like the DIY streets mentioned last week.

Kevin’s comment:
As a result, what is being punished is not only dangerous speed, but careless, inattentive drivers. That works for me.
