Let's turn Queensbridge Road, Hackney, London, into a beautiful road and de-prioritise motor traffic.

💚Make Low Traffic Neighbourhoods work for all.☘️

A brilliant example in Utrecht: trees and separate cycle lanes made the street so much better.

@iambrianjones The Gun. Nice gastropub on the river.

On my estate residents park their cars for £39.25 per year, that's 3 pounds/month, one tenth of a pound/day. This valuable land is used for car storage instead of a place to enjoy & kids to play in. How will you redress this awful imbalance favouring car ownership? #GrillPhil

Lovely work @TowerHamletsNow on the B118 (Old Bethnal Green Road). This is what Queensbridge Road could look like, @hackneycouncil.

@hackney_cycling @Queensb92932176 @MayorofLondon @mayorofhackney @metecoban92 @rosamund_ElsFdn @TfL Thanks @hackney_cycling. We’d be up for a chat too, and have been thinking of options.

The greatest trick the automotive industry ever pulled was convincing the world they need 2,500 kg of machinery to move 25 kg of stuff.

We must reduce traffic! Let's start with:

- roads with illegal levels of #airpollution?
- roads with the most polluted schools?
- roads where people have their greatest exposure?
- roads with the lowest car ownership?

Or side roads with low pollution & high car ownership!🙄

Time to put an end to illegal pollution levels in London, and prevent further tragic deaths like Ella's. Tackle motor traffic, the biggest polluter immediately.

@BarryShawkins @jonburkeUK @hackneycouncil I'm no traffic planner either, but:

- safe cycling infrastructure
- de-prioritise motor traffic at junctions
- give space currently taken up by parked cars to pedestrians
- adequate taxation of motorists, who are currently subsidised by non-drivers

Ever since the LTN came into force, we have heavy traffic issues in Queensbridge Road. It's a residential road too and kids now breathe in more polluted air. Can you please adjust the design @hackneycouncil @jonburkeUK
?

@SaveColumbiaRd @LivesNye The great majority of road space in the picture is allocated to cars, and not cyclists or pedestrians. What are you complaining about?

[🔆🌳For a less polluted Queensbridge Road💙🏳️‍🌈 @QueensbridgeRd]

@SaveColumbiaRd @LivesNye Huh? Lots os used bikes and no car in unwanted road rather. Bike lane is certainly wanted and has no effect on traffic flow anyway.

[🔆🌳For a less polluted Queensbridge Road💙🏳️‍🌈 @QueensbridgeRd]

@jonburkeUK @hackneycouncil For sure yes. But we know we also had those issues before the signalling works started.

A great example of a filtered B-road.

[filter more streets @iambrianjones]

Hello newly filtered and newly made one-way for motor vehicles Old Bethnal Green road.

Hello new contraflow cycle lane.

[🔆🌳For a less polluted Queensbridge Road💙🏳️‍🌈 @QueensbridgeRd]

Time to seriously cut down motor traffic immediately.

@iambrianjones @Queensb92932176 @alexjarmitage @RhodesEstate Particularly now that the protected cycle lane is extended, BUT is interrupted by the narrow canal bridge, and will only run south to north. Or at least a give priority to oncoming vehicles sign, make motor traffic single lane, but protected cycle lane both directions.

[🔆🌳For a less polluted Queensbridge Road💙🏳️‍🌈 @QueensbridgeRd]

Happy to make that 5.

[filter more streets @iambrianjones]

@Queensb92932176 @alexjarmitage @RhodesEstate I think it’s such a good idea that I’ve tweeted about filtering Queensbridge Rd at least 4x since 2018

@annettecheeky @jonburkeUK @daveybuoy @SadioBobbyMo @MPSTowerHam @MPSHackney @TfL 100% for more speed cameras & enforcement. Stretches of Queensbridge Rd, busy with walking school kids, appear to average 30mph and more.

@soxgnasher Thanks for posting all those pictures from around Queensbridge Rd. It's shocking how many decent buildings were demolished in the 60s and 70s. I guess the priorities were different then.

@LivesNye Sadly it’s rarely as empty as this now though. Heavy traffic volumes and queues are regular.
