a few ideas here. @OxfordshireCC
In 2015, Oslo committed to zero pedestrian or cyclist deaths; a goal it reached in four years with a safe system approach: 1️⃣ Redistribution to other modes 2️⃣ Restriction of through-traffic 3️⃣ Removal of multi-lane roads 4️⃣ Reduction of design speed 5️⃣ Redesign of infrastructure

A thought #HIF1
Why does Copenhagen invest so much in cycle infrastructure? They calculated every km. cycled produces a societal economic gain of DKK 4.79 (€0,64); every km. driven loses DKK 5.29 (€0,71). Society therefore saves DKK 10.08 (€1,35) per km. when people cycle rather than drive.

Boost your local high street this Christmas by making it more inviting to walk and cycle. As @TfL research shows, if you want to see thriving high streets, ensuring walking and cycling is easy, safe and attractive delivers major benefits content.tfl.gov.uk/walking-c…

Just in case you weren't sure what modes of transport are being prioritised in big Oxford infrastructure projects.... Yep, it's four lanes of vehicular traffic 🤦
The proposed design for the Kidlington roundabout is out for comment. This is outrageous. There's four lanes for traffic and the tortuous blue line is a shared path for walking and cycling. LTN 1/20 compliant? Absolutely not....🤦 letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/…

From the Daily Telegraph: (£) Congestion charging zones, low traffic neighbourhoods and road tolls must be introduced across Britain to drive the public away from using cars, Boris Johnson’s infrastructure adviser has said. telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

The National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) has published a report warning ministers against a “wait and see” approach towards encouraging drivers to switch to public transport.

Here’s why people cycling two abreast is actually better for people driving motor vehicles. It’s quite simple really.

Outstanding work from the folks vandalising the East Oxford LTNs here. Damaged a removable bollard by ripping it out / driving over it so much that when a fire engine wants to come through they have to cut it because their key doesn't work. Nice one 👍 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ox…

Ambulances and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods - after a video showing an ambulance appearing to get lost around LTNs in Oxford last week we asked SCAS about it. So in case you missed it on @BBCOxford (as there’s more discussion on here about this tonight) this what they said: – at Oxford, England

I led this ride along Broad Street today. It was AMAZING. One 11yo said it was the first time she’d felt free cycling on the roads. ❤️

All kinds of cycles, some cycling six year olds, the younger kids on seats or tagalongs or cargo bikes.
