So to my office, but missing my key, which I had in my hand just now, makes me very angry and out of order, it being a thing that I hate in others, and more in myself, to be careless of keys, I thinking another not fit to be trusted that leaves a key behind their hole.

Key quote for me: "There is still this idea that 70 or so road deaths a year in Wales is acceptable. But we would never accept 70 deaths a year on the ferry to Ireland, or on buses.”
In London in 2024 there were 110 road deaths.
These are equally unacceptable.

Why is there ANY debate? 🤦♀️
20mph in Wales meant about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured in a year.
“There is, perhaps, a lesson here for politicians: sometimes it can be best to ignore the noisiest voices, and take the evidence-based course.”

Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?
Research suggests the scheme may be more popular than thought, with consultations dominated by a loud minority

How can this photo not make you smile?
It fell out of a book on Monday when I was arranging the wall of books at my exhibition. So it must have been travelling around the country - on show but unseen - for 7 years now!
But who are you, little fella?
I hope you’re still smiling

Fifty years ago, a transport revolution started in #Zürich.
#Switzerland rejected urban freeways. Zurich decided not to build a metro. It began building an S-Bahn commuter train network.
And they gave *absolute* priority to trams over cars in center of Zurich.
The result?
