3/6 Injury severity is attributed by recording the MOST serious injury the victim sustains. This means many victims will have sustained more than one injury.
1/6 A thread 🧵 on road traffic injury classification - shared with us by the incredible @VictoriaLeBrec at our recent #visionzero event for Haringey. We found these numbers shocking - and yet there is so little discussion in London on the thousands impacted by these incidents
The deputation reported that filtered roads have reduced traffic within Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, as well as on boundary roads
Haringey is working on:
🚦 safer road crossings
🚍 better bus lanes
🚸 & we have the fastest growing School Streets programme in London
Great support & passionate speeches from team @HealthyStAnns representing the 60% + non car owners in an area of high social & affordable homes on now calmed residential roads. Spring bringing great results.
Many thanks to the residents who attended Full Council this evening to support Haringey's Walking & Cycling Action Plan
WCAP aims to encourage active travel to make our streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists, & tackle climate change by reducing reliance on private motor cars
@ediz1975@All_Sparks@Nextdoor_UK@neilchristiex You are comedy gold mate. Are you sure Little North Circular Tory Ed is not just some Jamie Demetriou character? No one can be this funny & deluded. If you don’t like my posts maybe don’t comment & follow them…and then get a persecution complex the moment anyone replies.
Excellent options now emerging for families to avoid the eye watering costs of first family cars & instead consider cargo e-bikes as the primary mode of transport. #activetravel#healthystreets
The Copenhagen-based startup Mate wants to convince car owners that cargo e-bikes can effectively replace expensive cars, even for families. https://t.co/RbDHSR6Qiz
Great response to Chiles Guardian sneering comparing all the eye watering costs of standard family car vs standard e cargo bike. “Hey, Adrian Chiles, e-cargo bikes can cost £4,000 and actually that’s v good value…” https://t.co/idbAGwxgBB #cargobikes#activetravel#livingstreet
I wrote about three amazing women who pace it up the formidable hills of Hampstead and Highgate 🚲🚲💥💥
~ Tessa, who’s in her 60s and leaves me for dust 🚲💨
~ And thanks to E-bikes, Angela, who’s in her 70s, and Jean who’s, wait for it - 88! ⭐️⭐️ 1/2

Good to see @CarlosMorenoFr interviewed in @Dezeen & discuss the positives of his theories & the great results in practice. Also responds to the reactive small tin foil hat brigade spurred on by big oil & car industry. #15mincities#healthystreets#activetravel
Standing right at the back but we don’t care when @DamienRice sounds as good as ever after his hiatus. Great support from Sylvia Perez Cruz & Jana Jakuka. Good night at @EventimApollo#damienrice#music
