The Savoy story is a myth. Most standard sized cars can negotiate it on one movement.

The high likelihood is that turning circle, as part of the original 1906 CoF, was included on the back of the 1905 Royal Commision on London Traffic report- which laid the foundations for the modernisation of London’s transport network.

It stated minimum widths for new roads, and made it quite clear that London's roads were too narrow, but that cabstands must not be placed on busy roads, hence being located in narrow side streets. It was a time when the hansom cab was the main hackney carriage in London, but motorised cabs were starting to appear.

If you do the maths, the turning circle requirement measures around half the width of the proposed new minimum road width set out in the report.

The dates are no coincidence. The report was published in 1905, around the time William Worby Beaumont - a highly respective mechanical engineer at the forefront of the automotive revolution, became engineering advisor to the Met Police. He was the man behind the first CoF for motorised hackney carriages.

@MarkW_QPR @AskLyft That's my point. Will they continue the trend of not giving a shit.

Personally I think the entire trade doesn't give a shit as they're happy to service them.

[Gary - KnowledgeOfLondon.co.uk @GaryLDN]

@AskLyft now you have acquired Gett and Freenow in London, I trust you will be implementing the geofencing of work to stop suburban yellow badges drivers picking up outside of their sectors.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, and I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't—you can message me directly for a full run down on London hackney carriage law.

@LewisofLondon Sorry to hear that mate, just thankful she didn't get killed. Not many survive being hit at 40. Wishing her a speedy recovery x

@PaulParklane Where's February, March & April? 🤣

[Gary - KnowledgeOfLondon.co.uk @GaryLDN]

@Taxi_Point Yet the 60 year older Hungerford Bridge is happily functioning as required carrying 400 ton commuter trains.

There is nothing wrong with Vauxhall Bridge. This is all part of the green agenda.
