Conditions
London's main roads often have heavy, fast-moving traffic, although there have been efforts made by politicians for 20 miles per hour (32 km/h) maximum speed limits across the city. Many roads in London are lined with guard rail, and cyclist deaths have occurred when vehicles passing cyclists have crushed them against it.

Famous quotes containing the word conditions:
“Brutus had rather be a villager
Than to repute himself a son of Rome
Under these hard conditions as this time
Is like to lay upon us.”

—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
“Under all conditions well-organized violence seems to him the shortest distance between two points.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
