An example is Cheapside east of Highbury where it felt comfortable doing 80 in a 60 zone as the driving lane is wide and straight. They reduced it from 60 to 40 to try and slow people down without making any changes in road design. Hahaha no.

That is my issue too. The city just lowering speed limits with no change or anything to road design. People just do the same speeds still.
My least favourite spot is Wharncliffe South, from Exeter to Lambeth, and from Wonderland to Southdale. City reduced the speed limit going to Lambeth to 60, yet people still go 80 or higher, and I don't blame them. Then you got Wharcliffe North past Wonderland, the limit is 80 and people struggle here to actually get to 80, usually going 70. BUT, when the speed limit drops to 60 at Bradley, then everyone wants to go 80 or 90 all of a sudden. I don't get it.
Why drop limits if no one is going to enforce them or care?
