Anyone observing the 20mph limits

As more of these seem to be popping up or maybe I'm noticing them.
Can't say I've seen anyone observing these unless there's a speed camera about, then they might have a dither.
Waste of paint and time if you ask me, but I speed everywhere pretty much so I'm biased.
Possibly keeps the middle class professional letter writing and campaigning types happy as they've got their 20 mph limit.

Sure you do.
In fact they went on record to say they would not be enforcing them: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-33599456
I am probably cycling at 15mph, a car sticking to 20mph takes much more longer to pass me than someone doing 30. Personally, I would rather someone pass me quickly and be out of each others way, rather than someone who crawls past at 20 and takes all afternoon doing so.
No because with the exception of a few royal parks and sea front paths speed limits don't apply to cyclists.
Interestingly the issue of cyclists exceeding 20mph speed limits, limits that cycling groups fervently campaigned for, was addressed by Rod King who heads up '20's Plenty For Us' described cyclists who deliberately ignored such limits as "anti-social".

There is no offence of speeding for a cyclist.
There are (bye?)laws in royal parks that can lead to a fine for cyclists exceeding the limit. No, look in the highway code appendices and try and find the penalty for cyclists.
Nope, anyway as there's no requirement to have a speedo on a push bike how would they even know if they are speeding?

Aren't you the brave little soldier.
If I'm a wum then you'd best include a couple hundred thousand people I also see driving around London then, because I've only noticed one car sticking to the 20 limit.
I couldn't work out why we were still doing 20 on a clear road, until I noticed the road markings.
There are $hit loads of other speeders in London, when I'm out and about in other parts of the country it's no different, so I don't know where you people do your driving.
No shortage of people doing 40 plus in town, even more in the dead of night.
Oh you'll like this, I got caught doing 45 (according to the copper), I say 40 the other night, got a breath test and that was the limit of my talking to, '45 in a 30 is a bit strong isn't it?' and sent on my way.
I think it was the type of road, that got me 'off' unlit no pavement bordered by trees.
Try your holier than thou act elsewhere, you know this isn't real life you don't have to curry favour with the people on DS.
Sorry, as far as my experience goes those who stick to the limits are the exception or cab drivers and they don't stick to 20's only 30's to save juice.
