Utrecht (city of 377k population) receives €562 million (NZ $1.1 billion) from the government to build tramlines to Merwede.
As the council says; “because without a tram line the city would be one massive traffic jam”.

The best thing for #A720 #Edinburgh City Bypass capacity & safety would be to introduce variable speed limits with average speed cameras.
It would save the NHS, fire & police money, reduce emissions and save lives.
Bypass crashes are the main cause of diversions through SW Edinburgh neighbourhoods

Sod pedestrian safety, cars should always come first. Does make you think where traffic comes from, though.

If you’re media covering bike-lanes, watch this news story.
If you’re a downtown business association discussing bike-lanes, watch this news story.
If you’re anyone hearing the LIE that bike-lanes are bad for business, watch this story.
And please SHARE THIS STORY so others can watch it too.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.
Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Does anyone @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike know if there's some better point of escalation for bad (read, dangerously) placed Voi bike locations than the very generic support@voi.com email address?

🎯 “The 20 mph speed limits have fostered a greater sense of equity amongst different road users and have largely been accepted as the ‘new norm’.
Yet, 20mph probably remains insufficient on its own in addressing the externalities of motorised traffic among those outside of vehicles”

New report analyses post implementation public support for 20mph limits in Scottish Borders Council. Not a "silver bullet", but majority of interviewees did not wish to see a return to 30mph speed limits.
