New 20mph road markings next to a 30mph speed limit sign are causing road users confusion.
Local Democracy Reporting ServicePainted road markings indicating that Streatham High Road was a 20mph zone appeared next to an existing 30mph sign on the busy thoroughfare last week.
Transport for London confirmed the speed limit on the road remained 30mph but it would become 20mph in December.Driver Alex Mapp, 41, said he did a double take when he passed the conflicting signs on his way back from the supermarket.: "I slowed down because of the new road markings, but then seeing that sign totally threw me off.
"It made me question if I was seeing okay. It's ridiculous that no one spotted this when they were drawing the new signs on the road.'It's idiotic'She said: "It's so idiotic. You have drivers slowing down then speeding up and then slamming the brakes on again.A local resident, who declined to be named, supported the introduction of the 20mph speed limit, adding: "People go way too fast down here all the time.
A TfL spokesperson said: "To reduce deaths and serious injuries on the roads, we are currently in the process of introducing 65km of new 20mph speed limits in Lambeth and other boroughs in south London.""We are installing new signs and all signage will be updated before the lower speed limit comes into force," the spokesperson added.
