This has excellent lists of what changes can be done to make main roads in cities much better.

We don’t just want more and better LTNs, we want Hackney main roads to change. 10% of Hackney residents live on main roads, and we want those people to feel the benefit too.

Here’s how main roads should be changed in Hackney:

TL;DR is that the local community says "Yes please".

The scheme involves a bus gate on Hoxton St and traffic filters on Stanway/Fanshaw Streets, & a new School Street.

Tower Hamlets cannot lawfully remove our safer streets. A huge precedent for London.
