Transport for London (TfL) has announced plans to introduce a 20mph speed limit on specific roads within Wandsworth. The proposed reduction aims to alter the current 30mph limit on sections of the A217 Swandon Way and the Wandsworth Roundabout. Several adjacent side roads are also included in the proposal.
Scope of the Proposed Changes

Northern line trains will bypass the station from October 26 to November 8 for upgrades.
The affected routes are part of the Greater London Authority (GLA) network. The changes are being implemented under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and specifically target sections of the A217 Swandon Way. The Wandsworth Roundabout junctions with Bridgend Road (A217), York Road (A3205), Swandon Way (A217), and Trinity Road (A214) are also included. These are designated as GLA Main Roads and GLA Side Roads - Red Route returns.
