Two South London roads to have speed limits slashed by almost half
Two South East London roads are to have their speed limits slashed by almost 50 per cent. Picardy Manorway and Bronze Age Way will see motorists drive at no more than 30mph, slashed from 50mph with no diversion route in place. The temporary speed limit was introduced by The London Borough of Bexley. This is because utilities provider JSM Group Services need to carry out work for grid connection and cable works.

On Bronze Age Way, the new speed limit will apply from the horse roundabout at the junction with Anderson Way to Queens Road, Erith.
