Green Assembly Member Siân Berry said the policy would hold the mayor to account on road safety in London.Relatively few roads are controlled by the mayor through Transport for London.Ms Berry's motion called on the mayor to "amend the relevant Transport for London action plans to increase work with boroughs to achieve this target".
Mr Khan's transport strategy states: "Lowering speeds is fundamental to reducing road danger because a person is five times less likely to be fatally injured if hit at 20mph than at 30mph."
