We've installed another three new simple zebra crossings, this time near Edgware Road.

Without them drivers yield to pedestrians around 40% of the time. With them, it's around 80%.

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times.

"We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".

Well done Greater Manchester! Now reaping the rewards of your consistent investment in 🐝 network: walking up from 52% to 57% & short car trips down from 41% to 36% in the last 5 years. Residents confirm the 🐝 network is enabling them to walk or cycle as part of daily lives. 👏

Switching just 1 trip a day from 🚗 to 🚴 or 🚶‍♂️ = almost 30% less transport CO2 for the ave UK urban resident. If 1 in 5 did this in 🇪🇺 it’d cut emissions from all 🚗 travel in 🇪🇺 by 8%. The potential impact of active travel on CO2 could be huge

Right, I’m off to Bakau and COP29 to talk about the quiet power of these 2-wheeled machines to decarbonise.
We’ve done the numbers and you’ll be amazed (Tuesday the 19th) @activetravelengland @defrauk
