Cities should be designed for:

❌ A̶u̶t̶o̶n̶o̶m̶o̶u̶s̶ C̶a̶r̶s̶

✅ Autonomous Kids
It is perfectly possible for very young children to cycle through a city to primary school together, as long as you ensure that city has cycle infrastructure that makes it safe for them to do so. This also frees up their parents to be elsewhere and avoid the stresses of fitting the school run in

Utrecht is set to create the Netherlands’ largest car-free neighborhood.

The area will house 12,000 residents with 21,500 bicycle parking spaces and 250 shared cars. Further parking amenities will be located on the edge of the district.

Low Traffic zones are the best long term investment a city can make, including for emergency services and the NHS.
A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times.

"We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".
