Either because they're so rich and the sizes of fines are such that they don't care, or because enforcement is so weak they won't have to cough up. Both should be intolerable, and are totally solvable.

Lovely to see Big Jim get a shout out

Sorry that this is the position you find yourself in, that sounds really hard. You're right I'm probably guilty of generalising - it was based on a number of real life encounters with people who were to my (judgy) mind clearly using the disabled to argue for keeping the car centric status quo.

Love it

Cargo bikes observed during the commute! Equally - number of squeaky old Dutch style bikes encountered (an indicator species for good and safe local cycle infrastructure)

I tried this on the hottest days of my summer commute. Couldn't work out if an extra 2-5 min outside in the heat was worse than being slightly hotter but getting into the aircon earlier 🙃

"Honey! I just SAVED us five grand on a new guitar!"

They've not assessed the ramp gradient or kerb radii to slow vehicles to a pace at which they'll reliably yield to pedestrians. Must try harder

Those that really can't are in a small but important minority and their mobility needs must be catered for, but there's a lot of folk, frankly who play the "not everyone can cycle" card because they prefer their comfy SUV thank you very much.

I try not to agree with "not everyone can cycle". It doesn't mean what is being said, it means "I don't want to cycle, based on current conditions out there". With 50+ years of policy change in NL, (effectively) everyone CAN bike (or trike.) Even your disabled auntie.

Blimey ! Any one of these proposals would be great, but wow, what a plan. I hope it all survives contact with TfL buses...

Speed limiters on motor vehicles in built up areas, or camera enforcement everywhere. Some motorists are absolutely lawless based on the current levels of enforcement/deterrent being completely inadequate in the face of the machines that we allow on our streets.

No such thing a road tax, but sure, when would be a good time? 20 years ago was the best time, when Blair's govt first mooted it and it was destroyed by the mail, and the second best time is now. It's always going to be unpopular and they have four years...

Needs baking into council tax (reductions?) or some other hard incentive structure.

So all of the non-drivers (many of who can't drive) are paying to subsidise those who get around in cars?

[Can't remember who to credit, but]... "Ah yes, "Parkway"; that's English for "absolutely nowhere near""

And they could have had a design like this. For free!!
