0:00.0	At TFL, we're making journeys safer for everyone, and that includes improving safety on London's
0:06.5	roads. That's why we and London boroughs are lowering more speed limits to 20 miles per hour,
0:12.4	because 20 miles per hour roads have already reduced collisions resulting in deaths or
0:16.8	serious injuries by 24%. That is how we're making journeys in London safer and brighter for everyone.

0:37.5	Welcome to Series 7 of Jimmy's Jobs of the Future. This is a special collaboration
