Can anyone point me to any recent guidance/research on best practice for the design of the ramps onto raised tables at junctions?
How high? Is 75mm enough - it seems small? Any details about the slope and transitions? It’s in a 20mph limit where speeding is frequent.

Ok, it’s the first time I’ve been to the states, and I appreciate it’s only for a night, but it’s wild. I don’t think I’d quite appreciated how much traffic there was, how big the trucks are and how few pavements are here are!

This happened in Inverness - retailers convinced that reducing through traffic and increasing space for pedestrians would harm business, but in fact the opposite would have been true.
“The survey revealed that traders who drive to their business estimated much higher customer car use (29%) than traders that use other modes of transport (between 10% and 19%).”
The actual car use was 7%.
Yet another survey showing again that retailers constantly overestimate customer car-use.

So - it seems hidden in the budget, there have been some pretty big tax changes for pick-up trucks. It’s being portrayed as bad news for farmers, but removing tax breaks for large heavy vehicles also has benefits from r society at large.

Blow for farmers as research uncovers new pickup truck tax
Farmers and others who work in the countryside are set for another tax blow as double-cab pickups will be classed as company cars for tax purposes.
