Ignore false claims and bad #journalism – most #LTNs do reduce #traffic | Andrew Gilligan | The Guardian

With #lowTraffic #neighbourhoods (LTNs), which use #motor #traffic restrictions to boost #walking and #cycling, the top choice used to be claiming that they increase #pollution. But that has now been so thoroughly #debunked that it’s losing its magic.

If it's exciting for you to discover new apps, and you like open-source and dislike tech giants, this is for you. I'm starting a group of us to test new communication and community apps (think @fediversespace, think @manyver_se, think @Jami@mstdn.io, etc.). Maybe there will be a bit of chat about these topics, but the main point is to discover and test. Low frequency except bursts when we test some app. Let's find alternatives to big tech! 💪

Feel free to retoot.
