Design matters at side road junctions. How best to enhance priority for crossing 🚸🚵‍♀️? Setback? Two-way cycle track? Zebra? Pleased to share our recent publication that provides the answers: https://t.co/Ali3ZN7LLp @TransPlanSoc @ianwalker @RantyHighwayman @Phil_PJA @bricycle

@AllianceWalking has just published ed 2 of their "50 Ways to Better Walking". No. 2 on their list is supported by our research. Take a look at the other 49 at: https://t.co/fv3Bl0J6FV @BristolWalk @LStreetsBristol @BristolCouncil @bristol247 @awjre @sustravelwest @SustransSouth

Good to see that the side road crossing debate and our research is being highlighted in the current issue of LTT: https://t.co/X1OA80qhR8

[Jonathan Flower @JontyFlower]

We'll be discussing this at https://t.co/KisFnmfyRj #Manchester 29/10 @johnstreetdales @awjre @APPGCW @activetravelPGN @Active_ATA @bhactivetravel @BrisActiveCity @StGeorgeATG @TransportForAll @RachelAldred

🚴‍♂️🚶‍♀️Enhanced side road junction designs can significantly improve #pedestrian & #cyclist priority. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️

With actual data, the study shows that designs with zebra crossings result in a 91.7% driver yield rate! 🚗👈 🌍

Malheureusement stationnée sur le trottoir est déjà l’actualité au Royaume-Uni🙁('motonormativity')

[DroitAuVélo ADAV @DroitAuVelo]

Stationnée sur le trottoir, branchée à un fil qui passe par la boîte aux lettres et les piétons sur la chaussée en plein carrefour, c'est ça l'avenir de la mobilité ? 🚗🔌🚶‍♂️⚠

I was sharing the many benefits of @TransPlanSoc with our new cohort of @UWE_CTS Transport Engineering & Planning MSc students earlier today, including free membership to students and apprentices.

@rogerha @TransPlanSoc @ianwalker @RantyHighwayman @Phil_PJA @bricycle A sub-set of drivers force pedestrians & cyclists to yield by their behaviour, 11% at the controls & this is 1.1 times more likely with enhanced marking with zebra and 1.4 times with enhanced design.

@rogerha @TransPlanSoc @ianwalker @RantyHighwayman @Phil_PJA @bricycle The effect of enhancement appears to reduce the proportion of occasions when people crossing yield voluntarily at the control junctions (46%) to negligible levels.

[Jonathan Flower @JontyFlower]

The work was funded by @TheRSTrust @Sustrans @transcotland and based at @UWE_CTS @UWE_Research @UWEBristol

Our PhD candidate Sanjeev Neupane is presenting the aims of 2nd work package of #safetripnepal 'to improve public transport safety in Nepal' at the project launch @UWE_CTS

[Jonathan Flower @JontyFlower]

Today is the day we launch our #safetripnepal project. Seeking routes to safer bus travel across #Nepal @CTS_UWE @ITSLeeds @TransaidOrg @TransPlanSoc

[Margie Peden @margiepeden]

Launching our #nihr funded #safetripnepal road safety research study in Kathmandu today @PublicHealthUWE @ImperialSPH @NIRC_Nepal

[Jonathan Flower @JontyFlower]

Good to hear. I am here daily & have seen @ASPBristol officers stuck in queues of drivers breaching the restrictions, slowing down buses, play chicken with approaching cyclists & threatening pedestrians both in East St & when some break another reg. by turning right into Dalby Av

[TRESA @TRESAcic]

Traffic & parking on East St
Thank you @ASPolice @BristolCouncil
A joint operation is in place to step up traffic enforcement following concerns raised by residents & traders about the risk to pedestrians & cyclists from increased levels of traffic & breaches of restrictions

[Jonathan Flower @JontyFlower]

Interesting heavy targeting of services that are slowed by congestion eg 75/6 & 48/24 on Gloucester & Stapleton Rds rather than ones that are lightly used highlighting #Bristol's failure to provide needed bus priority that James Freeman (ex @FirstBSA) asked for years ago

[Mark Bradshaw @mark_bradshaw]

Quite staggering announcement by First Bus. Decimation of the bus network with little regard for passengers or elected reps. Understand the driver & cost issues but this is no genuine partnership. WECA needs to become proper transport authority & move to franchising key routes.

How Sustainable is the Electric Car? Read @UWE_CTS blog post about a recent publication from my colleagues @Graham Parkhurst and @William Clayton. https://t.co/UAtcHdVozr

[Jonathan Flower @JontyFlower]

Please @WestofEnglandCA @BristolCouncil @votedannorris @MarvinJRees @BristolDon do something to stop the destruction of our public transport. Time to franchise? @WESTACT_

[Jonathan Flower @JontyFlower]

Was it during UWE's "Green Fortnight" when the university was promoting sustainable travel?

[Jonathan Flower @JontyFlower]

Can @uwetravel confirm that this happened at UWE & whether the university endorses this anti-walking message? @UWE_CTS @aqmrcUWE @jobarnes_uwe @UWE_SPE @UWE_Research @uwe
