19th May 2026
To ask His Majesty's Government what progress has been made on the Royal Parks' request of October 2024 to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport that the Royal Parks and Other Open Spaces Regulations 1997 be amended to ensure the current maximum speed limit of 20mph in the parks is applicable to cyclists as well as motor vehicles.

DCMS is actively reviewing The Royal Parks (TRP) request for an amendment to The Royal Parks and Other Open Spaces Regulations 1997. While statutory speed limits vary by location, TRP currently aims for a 20mph standard in central London parks. Enforcement of the Parks regulations is the responsibility of the Metropolitan Police, and the new Crime and Policing Act 2026 has introduced new statutory offences across Great Britain for causing death or serious injury by dangerous, careless, or inconsiderate cycling, bringing the maximum penalties for irresponsible cyclist behaviour in line with those for motorists.

DCMS is keen to continue working with TRP and other government departments to explore how making the 20mph maximum speed limit applicable to cyclists as well as motor vehicles can be achieved.
