I am a car driver. The problem is not or The problem is all the other . We are all the problem, we are all the solution. Reduce the number of cars and all the other problems go away. policy should support the solutions, not make the problems worse.

@TheWarOnCars The irony is that most of the people complaining about the are already living in one, and specifically chose to live there precisely for the reasons we want them. Close to schools, a doctor's surgery, a pharmacy, parks and green space, near local supermarkets.

The conspiracy nuts have (deliberately?) confused them with , , and .

I see a Bad Right Wing Rag tried to critique this article, but all they could do was whinge about bias without... actually pointing to any.

There are, incidentally, no studies showing that have generally bad outcomes, but this is not because of anyone's bias; it's because just do generally have good outcomes. There *are* studies showing some LTNs work better than others... but that's because of how numbers work.

Verkehrsarme Stadtteile reduzieren die Anzahl der in ihren Grenzen, ohne dass der auf umliegende Straßen verlagert würde. Das ist das Ergebnis der bisher umfassendsten Studie, die 46 in untersuchte. Der Kfz-Verkehr konnte in diesen Zonen im Durchschnitt fast halbiert werden.

Low-traffic neighbourhoods significantly reduce the amount of motor vehicles within their boundaries without appearing to push traffic on to roads around their edges, the most comprehensive study yet of such schemes in the UK has concluded.

The Centre for Urban Research at RMIT University was recently glad to host Salvador Rueda to learn about the 'superblock' model of urban streetspace reallocation he developed in Barcelona.

There's a very timely new publication out by Samuel Nello-Deakin assessing the superblocks and finding they lead to sustained reduction in motor vehicle traffic: doi.org/10.1016/j.cstp.2022.11

Well worth a read for anyone interested in etc.

Thinking of all the conversations I have had with car users about etc… A common theme is “I can’t stop using my car until there are better alternatives’

Taking this at face value - that car users are trapped in a disfunctional transport system as much as the rest of us - is there anything they can do or have done to mobilise for alternatives - a motorist mass action for better public transport? or somesuch? Idk - thoughts?
