The replies to this are an insane indictment of car culture gone mad in this country. Absolutely mad post-truth idiocy. 20mph saves lives. That's it.
@SocEnvJustice I thought it was to motorists that SEJ founders were pledging their support in the run-up to next week’s elections.
What happens in Exarcheia,Athens, when you park your wankpanzer like an asshole.
The public health benefits of LTNs equates to £4,800 per person over 20 years, compared to a cost of just £28–35 per person for LTNs implemented in 2020, or £112 for higher-cost versions with additional features, like greening and crossing improvements. theprogressplaybook.com/2024/03/10/six…
@CharlotteCGill TBH I’m not surprised. You’re an oxygen thief, Charlotte.
If you're wondering why we need School Streets then look no further than this video This could have been your kids school. Ask your local councillor if they'll install a School Street to protect your child
Do we need to have an urgent programme of installing anti-car terror barriers around every school in the land? Drivers clearly cannot be trusted to be safe around them.
A 🧵 of things genuine 'Social Environmental Justice’ campaigners *should* be campaigning for on main roads instead of spending all their time attacking cyclists, stoking culture-wars and fighting to make minor roads more harmful.
But the *real* problem with our roads is that drivers don’t have enough freedom to drive through every backstreet wherever they want and people may sometimes have to cross a cycle track near the bus stop. Apparently.

@SocEnvJustice Candidates & voters are advised that the group calling itself Social & Environmental Justice is fundamentally an anti-cycling group (eg praising Charlotte Gill's recent rant against cycling). It's keen on social & environmental justice in the same way East Germany was democratic

Video by @MobilityForWho I believe? This sums up my experience as a pedestrian and cyclist in Cardiff. Drivers have sworn and beeped at me, and I’ve had several close calls at crossings with no apologies from drivers. My wife got it 10x worse. She no longer cycles.
Thoughts and prayers to all those independent shops forced out of business by the closure of Sharrowvale Road #Sheffield on Sunday. Oh, they're opening you, say, because there's more people visiting than usual because cars are banned......?!
The Low Traffic Neighbourhood review referenced a study that found LTNs reduce all injuries by 50% (85% for pedestrians) with no increase on boundary main roads. LTNs should be a core foundation of your council's Road Danger Reduction Strategy. gov.uk/government/pub…
Because it offers them extra protection from cars, which is the real danger to them.

@RoseStokes @DrFrancesRyan I agree there's a huge difference between 2 and 8 year olds - but having worked with kids 0-9 yo, I think it's reasonable to assume that most kids don't really want to be in a pub, and if they're brought there, they should have stuff at the table to entertain them.
An unfortunate victim of the wind at Brightside Rd near Hither Green Station. One more reason to hate strong winds.
This needs to stop! Our response was delayed over 5min just by the blockage on fox hill road and it's all down to selfish and dangerous match day parking. @SheffCouncil need to sort it out now and surely @syptweet could sort a few of these out. @swfc @swfcCP @SheffieldStar
Fucking bike thieves man. Still, I'm thankful for my lock managing to save the day. May it rest in peace.

The POSITIVE power of #InducedDemand — induced public transit ridership when you increase frequencies! Those are more trips that don’t involve cars!
At the @APTA_info conference, a Vancouver, Canada public transit planner said that they keep increasing frequencies to address overcrowding, but it just induces more ridership so the crowding comes back. We haven't begun to saturate the market for fixed route bus service in…

This is jaw-dropping. Millions of Londoners will walk, cycle, pay bus & Tube fares, & drive ULEZ-compliant vehicles to vote. Yet Susan pleads financial exemption for London’s *most polluting vehicles* - so that their drivers can vote to continue polluting the rest of us! 🚗🚗💨
@SocEnvJustice I thought it was to motorists that SEJ founders were pledging their support in the run-up to next week’s elections.
@SocEnvJustice Yes, bring in measures to help reduce car dependency and miles driven, and enforce 20mph limits to reduce noise pollution further. Clearly the answer is not ‘rip out all LTNs and let cars speed everywhere unabated’.
@SocEnvJustice Limit the noise or have noisy roads everywhere? Your spurious argument on LTNs goes against British post-war planning consensus which is to keep traffic on main roads, entering and leaving residential streets for access. You are supporting noise on all streets.
@SocEnvJustice More LTNs and reduced driving. Looks like a good policy to focus traffic on specific areas. Hopefully those that choose to drive in London will be mindful about doing so.

School streets in London should be extended to a radius of 3/4 quarters of a mile, a quick fix that would tackle the root cause of so many of society's ills, obesity, poor health, and pollution. No one should be driving their children to school in London in 2024 unless disabled
