Selective speed cushions. Speed cushions slow down vehicles with a narrow base (like those in low and zero rated vehicle licensing duty bands), while cars with a wide wheel base (large people carriers, 4x4, limousines and vans) can just speed over them (they are getting something for their higher licensing duty).
On 20 mph Cromwell Road the speed cushions push cars into what used to be a cycle lane.
