If there is one thing drivers and non-drivers can agree on, is that we need fewer other cars!

Happy International Car Free Day!

@DanRavenEllison No worse than your examples, but a few footpaths spit walkers out onto Stoke Hill (especially around Rixlade) above Exeter. That's a very highly-used rat run into Exeter from the north, so it's frightening for pedestrians – fast, blind bends, high hedges etc. The usual.

@Heidi_Labour @LouHaigh Please have a word with your colleagues at @exeterlabour, who keep voting down and diluting active travel and bus improvement measures.
