Transport for London (TfL) has spent almost £2 million painting red lines, fitting speed limit road signs and slick radio ads as part of Sadiq Khan's road wars marketing blitz.

Just 40 miles of 20mph zones were implemented as part of the Mayor of London's 'Vision Zero' policy, which aims at completely eradicating transport deaths in the capital.

The figures, which were released under FOI rules, showed that TfL paid £276,000 for slick marketing and communications, including radio adverts, to tell motorists about the new speed limits introduced in eight of London's boroughs.
