Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods: what the latest evidence tells us. Traffic reduction also leads to lower noise levels. Research measuring sound before and after LTNs found that noise generally fell, with residents reporting calmer, more pleasant street environments

“In France, where such schemes are funded through local taxes and national legal barriers to building are much lower, things work even better. French cities build transport schemes, with their own money raised through higher local taxes, over twice as quickly and at below half the cost.”
Britain (and Labour, incredibly) cancelling #transport schemes outside the capital is a national obsession. Leading to our provincial cities being among least productive in #Europe. How does the #Chancellor sleep whilst « delaying » this in her own constituency? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Britain’s cities are desperate for better transport. Why is Westminster derailing our plans in Leeds? | Thomas Forth
A long-promised tram network has been pushed back to the late 2030s – unless we build local, northern growth will be snuffed out, says Thomas Forth, co-founder of tech firm The Data City

Why is the quality of towpaths reliant on charitable donations, when they are key everyday transport routes for thousands of people walking and cycling? They need to be funded properly. Will this change @heidialexander.bsky.social? They shouldn’t be avoided days after rainfall.

Samson Leonard Biddle, 37, failed to stop for police, driving extremely dangerously. Eventually, tactical contact stopped him.
Upon being arrested, he refused to give a specimen.
You might not be terribly reassured to learn that he received just a 6-month suspended sentence and 4-year driving ban.

Germany shifts over 2 million e-bikes every year. France: over 500,000.
Britain? It will be lucky to get to 150,000. Why?
Because people need to feel safe to cycle, and that requires serious and sustained government support, which has not been forthcoming.

Get better soon, enjoy a holiday !
No cycling for me for a while due to an accident. A motorcycle crashed into me while I was cycling home from work last week. I’m devastated and frustrated that I won’t be able to ride, but I know it’s time to take it easy, focus on recovery, and get back on two wheels as soon as I can.
