@elonmusk Don’t worry, the space race is heating back up again. Uncle Sam 🇺🇸 might have some competition from the far east re China 🇨🇳 and India 🇮🇳 which will speed up the push to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Next 50 years….who knows…
National Highways' latest figures suggest that if you break down on a smart motorway without a hard shoulder you are three times more likely to be killed or seriously injured than on one with a hard shoulder. #smartmotorways#bringbackhardshoulders
@AreYouObjective Bless. You on the wrong side of history on this one I’m afraid. The public are against more smart motorways. The Govt are too, and if anything, more hard shoulders will be reinstalled. Surly more safe motorways is what you’d like to see too eh?
@AreYouObjective Yes, there is an example of someone dying after breaking down on a smart motorway: Ana Borges's car was hit by a lorry while broken down on the M1. Borges said she broke down between emergency bays and never reached the next one, which was 400 yards away.
@cyc1one1000 @AnnEllis6 @DavidWalsh_M "I understand your focus on safety for active travel users, and I agree that pedestrian-friendly spaces are vital. However, we also need to ensure that drivers—who are often pedestrians too—have reasonable access and parking options. Striking a balance is key to a thriving city!
@cyc1one1000 @AnnEllis6 @DavidWalsh_M "I think it's important to consider everyone's perspective. While making Sheffield more pedestrian-friendly is a great goal, we can't ignore the needs of drivers. Open dialogue about balancing safety and accessibility is crucial.
It seems like you’re in favour of a total ban?"
@cyc1one1000 @AnnEllis6 @DavidWalsh_M Sentiment around city centre policy is driving customers out that need cars to access. This in turn, will drive business that consider investing in our centre out & back to out of town shopping centres. Surly you don’t want to discriminate against disabled customers.
