Breaking news! @SportEngland #ActiveLivesSurvey shows that walking for leisure has increased by 6.8%. That's over 3 million adults in England who are walking more! But there’s clearly a need for safer, more pleasant streets, as fewer people are walking for travel. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Great to see the children of St Oswald's Primary School in York enjoying walking, cycling and scooting to school 🚶‍♀️🚴🛴

We want to champion active travel across York and North Yorkshire – watch this space for more on how we plan to make it easier to choose greener ways to travel

70% of wheelchair users said pavement parking was a regular problem, forcing them into the road.

London can ban pavement parking; why can't the rest of the country?

There seems to be widespread support for it; for example, 78% of Daily Express readers back a ban.

Let's do it.

[Mark R. Brown, AICP, CNU @Car_Free_USA]

Curb extensions should be the default where there's on street parking.

Drivers should give way to those waiting at a zebra crossing (Rule 19) and must stop if a pedestrian is on the crossing (Rule H2)!
Please be courteous and know the rules!
Active Travel is a great way to improve your health and our environments for all! 💚

Thanks to our colleagues @NewRiderHub for this latest video on the Highway Code. With the amount of challenges we face daily on our roads, we all have a responsibility to check our knowledge. #barnsley #doncaster #sheffield #rotherham @SouthYorksMCA

[Trees for Streets @TreesforStreets]

All school streets should be lined with trees 🌳🏫🌳

Trees reduce air pollution ⬇️ slow down traffic 🚗 and can even help boost academic results 🎓

Tree-lined streets help children thrive.

[South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership (SYSRP) @SYSaferRoads]

Is it acceptable that 39 people died in a collision on SYorks roads in 2023? If not, what is an acceptable number? The answer is simple: Zero. One of the biggest things you can do as a road user, is travel at a safe & appropriate speed. #barnsley #doncaster #sheffield #rotherham

A recent 5 minute walking zone activity at @PyebankSchool w/ the Eco Council! The pupils produced maps showing parents where they can park & stride from a 5 min walk away, to reduce congestion alongside the school’s new School Street road closure
