80-page report on #UK Low Traffic Neighborhoods (LTNs) just released 17.3.24.
Here's what I learned:

UK added 100+ LTNs during COVID

3.7% of #London's population lives in an #LTN

LTNs use signs, planters, bollards, cameras to reduce cut-thru #cars

Most people who live in an LTN don't know it

Emergency responder time stayed the same

58% less #traffic, 50% fewer collisions, cleaner #air

Business owners like LTNs

'An official study of low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) ordered by Rishi Sunak amid efforts to stop them being built has instead concluded they are generally popular and effective and the report was initially buried, the Guardian has learned.'

'However, after its findings emerged, government advisers asked that it be permanently shelved'

"Rishi Sunak’s report finds low-traffic neighbourhoods work and are popular"

And so he buried it.

John Hamilton is the anti-ltn Workers Party candidate for the Lewisham Mayoral by-election on Thursday.

George Galloway and John Hamilton will speak at a Lewisham rally for Gaza on the steps of the Catford Civic Suite Tuesday 6pm.

An opportunist chance to boost John's vote on the back of discontent on Gaza rather than address what a Mayor could do for Lewisham?

Today our lovely community went out to make the most of our calm streets and the #LowTrafficNeighbourhood. Walking, riding, scooting. Kids, grownups, dogs, an amount of dressing up. With Ice Cream at the end! Beautiful!

The #LTN is currently under threat of removal thanks to our local councillors - and it was so nice to do something positive to show what a difference it all makes.

Neues vom ReelBoard:

[jmk] - Auf der Hack&Make 2023 kam der Wunsch auf, nach dem Einschalten des ReelBoards als erste Ebene unseren Tux angezeigt zu bekommen. Dann erst beim man. Weiterschalten das Visitenkartenfenster. Somit waren die beiden Displayfenster zu vertauschen.

Diesem Wunsch bin ich nun nachgekommen. Wer nun den Tux als erste Ebene angezeigt haben will, bringt bitte sein ReelBoard mit zum nächsten #LTN beim Theo. Dann kann ich die aktuelle SW draufflashen.

I mean ... I've wondered if most of the traffic through Newhaven is just there to avoid congestion on Ferry Road.

The road from Wardie Bay to Newhaven Harbour would be such a beautiful spot - if it weren't full of the constant roar of traffic.

If you want to get radical about changing driver behaviour, this would be one way to do it.

This is not to take away at all from the dire situation the evacuated residents on Lindsay Road are experiencing right now.

Every traffic engineer in the city of Edinburgh should be watching what happens very carefully the events happeing around Newhaven for the next few weeks (or months?) while the roads are closed to fix the building.

An ideal situation to reduce traffic from one of the most scenic roads in the city permenantly?

How about a Lindsay Road LTN?

One can dream.

Heya Leith and North Edinburgh residents!

The Leith Links Community Council has a survey out for the Leith Connections LTN & N8 Parking Zones and is seeking feedback.

Would be great to spread this around to others, especially within the local #ActiveTravel community. Filling the survey with support would be a great way to start off 2024! Thanks!

Bedfordshire Fire & Rescue have confirmed the fire at #Luton Airport was caused by a Diesel Car.

Now to put on my average commentor hat:

"But how does it catch fire if it's not electric, diesel can't catch fire".

Aus der Reihe "Die LUG Nürnberg unterwegs":

Am 03.09.2023 waren wir auf unserer 1. Tux-Wanderung. Ziel war die östlich von Schnaittach gelegene Festung Rothenberg. Wir sind mit der RB nach Schnaittach gefahren und von dort ging es gemeinsam bei schönem Wanderwetter hinauf auf die Festung. Eine Führung u.a. in die Kasematten haben wir auch noch mitgenommen. Sehr interessant und einen Besuch wert. Weitere Infos zur Festung unter:

In der Bildmitte befindet sich eine hölzerne Brücke, die in ca. 6 Meter Höhe ins Torhaus führt. Sicht aus dem Burggraben nach Nord-West gesehen. Auch dieses Bild ist etwas nachbearbeitet, nur wenig Farbkontrast vorhanden.

Over on the local FB group there is much joyous reaction to our new #LTN going on, of which the most prevalent seems to be “hOW dO I gEt To tHE pOsToFfiCe”

Me: I shall shitpost with maps!

A Government U-turn on safe residential roads would destroy any hopes of a cycle friendly future.

But if you don't stand up to be counted, politicians will never know that you want action for safer cycling.
