London’s Walking & Cycling Commissioner

Working with the Mayor, TfL & boroughs to build a safer, greener & healthier city.

Posts, errors & typos all mine.
And there is a new 20mph speed limit on Manor Way, supported by physical traffic-calming measures, creating a safer, calmer environment where people feel confident to walk and cycle.

Good to see the new zebra crossing installed on Porlock Avenue, Harrow.

With TfL funding, the borough installed it outside Whitmore School to make it easier and safer for pupils, families, residents and others to walk to & from school and around the area.

Every death & serious injury on the roads brings devastating pain & trauma to victims, family, friends, communities & colleagues.

Our powerful new road safety campaign is shaped by real stories of loss - massive thanks to RoadPeace for working with us.

In some parts of London dressing up as a bike lane might be the scariest Halloween costume out there!! 😂🎃😂

The York Way/Agar Grove/Brewery Road junction on the border of Camden & Islington is really unpleasant for people cycling & walking.

@camdencouncil.bsky.social, with support from Islington, is proposing significant safety improvements - have you say.

TfL has worked with RBKC to radically improve safety - including new pedestrian crossings at all arms of the junction.

Great to see the work progressing on Streatham Hill.

The A23 here has a terrible safety record. Tragically, 3 people have been killed in the area. There've been over 70 collisions in last 3 yrs.

This scheme will make it safer for everyone with new bike lanes & ped crossings.
