As much as I...Anonymous 21 September 2020 at 11:20<br /><br />As much as I agree with your thought process I have to point out the counter argument. <br /><br />A road near me has been 'calmed' and now the road is a constant traffic jam with very noticiable polution in a shopping area. One of the negatives is that a bus lane, of about 50yards long has been intalled and is causing almost a mile long traffic jam every morning (the rest of the time the queue are shorter, maybe 1/2 mile. Well, the buses who the bus lane has been provided for have to wait in he mile long queue before they can whizz away on the 50yard buss lane that includes a bus stop!!!<br /><br />To summarise, substantial mistakes are being made and instead of reducing polution, it is moving it and increasing it. Also, the people stuck in the traffic jam are going to work and there is no alternate as there is no public transport to where the majority of vehicles are heading.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-57940885810986491232020-09-21T13:21:27.195+01:002020-09-21T13:21:27.195+01:00The implementation of healthy streets may have bee...The implementation of healthy streets may have been rushed and poorly communicated, but the bottom line is that motorists are going to have to give up space for active travel, and that will eventually mean less car use, especially for short trips.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809044573340568148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-39280670805913913532020-09-21T11:20:17.917+01:002020-09-21T11:20:17.917+01:00We should welcome pushing traffic on to main roads...We should welcome pushing traffic on to main roads.<br /><br />If stationary traffic increases, people make decisions like not driving at all. <br /><br />Moving traffic may well run at lower speeds, another thing to welcome.<br /><br />In side roads kids can play in the street and cycle safely for the first time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
