  1. All the evidence is that #ActiveTravel interventions, whether #SchoolStreets, safe infrastructure or #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods have significant public health benefits. But so often they seem to be siloed as a “Highways” measure @[email protected]

  2. "What wokery is this? Clearly it's health and safety gone mad!"

    Low Traffic Neighbourhoods work. They save lives and improve the quality of life for the residents, without any discernible negative effects on surrounding roads. Are you listening, Daily Mail and your fascist friends?

  3. Shepherdess Walk, junction with Micawber Street, Hackney.

    This used to be a signalised junction before the junction (on both roads) was filtered with a bus exemption.

    First planters, now kerbs.

  4. Labour is right about #LTNs – the Tories need to learn the same lesson
    Andrew Gilligan
    For all the initial noise against #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods, most people like them and they can benefit the public purse

  5. #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods wurden in #London untersucht. Die Studie hat ergeben, dass die Menschen dort aktiver sind.
    Das führt zu besserer #gesundheit.
    Und damit auch die #fdp zufrieden ist : Ja es lohnt sich wirtschaftlich auch!

  6. This blog post from @DannyYee has some nice case examples (from Oxford, UK) of how Low Traffic Neighbourhoods benefit mobility-impaired people (contrary to the claims of some opponents of LTNs).

  7. #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods may lead people to drive less, data suggests

    Residents in London borough cut their driving by nearly a mile a day after #LTNs introduced, says study
    theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j well, yes, that's the whole idea, not to displace traffic but to reduce traffic. Because it gets more akward to drive and more pleasant to walk or cycle. #ActiveTravel

  8. I see a Bad Right Wing Rag tried to critique this article, but all they could do was whinge about bias without... actually pointing to any.

    There are, incidentally, no studies showing that #lowTrafficNeighbourhoods have generally bad outcomes, but this is not because of anyone's bias; it's because #LTNs just do generally have good outcomes. There *are* studies showing some LTNs work better than others... but that's because of how numbers work.

  9. Verkehrsarme Stadtteile reduzieren die Anzahl der #Kfz in ihren Grenzen, ohne dass der #Verkehr auf umliegende Straßen verlagert würde. Das ist das Ergebnis der bisher umfassendsten Studie, die 46 #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods in #London untersuchte. Der Kfz-Verkehr konnte in diesen Zonen im Durchschnitt fast halbiert werden.
