In the spirit of brotherly love, could I gently enquire why the almighty **** are government departments, government ministers and Labour MPs *STILL* using X?

Such sad news from RoadPeace
This letter from Brigitte Chaudhry on the 125th anniversary of the first British death caused by a motor vehicle driver captures something of the urgency and importance of RoadPeace's role.
It is worth reflecting on that as we absorb the loss of this organisation.

Unwisely read the comments on an article about banning pavement parking & there's loads of people saying "I never see disabled people being impeded by pavement parking!"
1. Are you paying attention?
2. People avoid routes they know will be impeded.
3. Inaccessibility discourages mobility aid use.

None of these vehicles fit inside on street parking spaces and consequently they should not be being issued with residents’ parking permits. This seems very obvious to me.

This finding of "hidden" public support for green policies strongly echoes our work on pluralistic ignorance when it comes to non-car travel: most people support non-car travel more than car travel, but at the same time they believe this is a minority view

Let alone their future driving permissions…
Why is road crime treated differently to other crime? IMO complacency and acceptance of road danger as inevitable have dulled accountability. Strategy isn’t enough — we need a fundamental root & branch cultural reset.

Nearly 630 drivers dodge jail over their role in death crashes
An average of ten a month are given community service orders, suspended sentences or fines instead of being sent to prison for triggering killer car crashes.

Instructive tweet, 🙏🏻 Ranty !
I have told this story before, but bringing it here. This street has footway parking on both sides which gives 1 metre of walking space beyond the lines. But, if drivers obey the markings, you can't get a car up the middle. Because residents kept getting tickets, I was asked to look at it. 1/n

Shame that legal e-bikes aren't allowed on the Lizzie line tho
If you build world-class public transport, people will use it.
Six of the UK’s most used railway stations are on the Elizabeth line, and all 10 are in London.

Around 250 people a year in the UK are killed in drink-driving related road crashes. This headline below does a disservice to every victim and bereaved family, reflecting outdated and dangerous attitudes that still need to change.
Great post, Emily.
Great post, Emily.
Call me old-fashioned, but following evidence-based policy on reducing alcohol limits to reduce "killing off" pedestrians and other road users seems pretty sensible.
It's not actually obligatory to drink booze in a pub, plenty of modern non-alcoholic options.
Also let's improve walking routes!

In 2024, more than 1,600 people died on UK roads. Yet a major new road safety strategy has passed largely unnoticed. This reflects media acceptance of road danger and a societal complacency—an “it won’t happen to me” mindset. Sadly, it can, and by then it is too late. How do we change this?
