Prepare for the #ActiveTravel crowd to celebrate another chance to show the miracle of #ReducedDemand, the high science concept that if a bridge is closed people will not cross it.
One day they will prove that if all bridges are closed no one will drive or take the bus across the river.
"An inspection of the bridge found water damage and cracks as wide as 2 millimeters (0.08 inches), Westminster City Council said in a funding-bid document which Bloomberg obtained in response to a Freedom of Information request". https://t.co/MGfYvoxBYz
@MichaelDnes1 LTNs and cycle lanes, combined with increasing deliveries into the LTNs.
Cars haven’t measurably increased in size since 2013, so this is pure transport policy - to *deliberately increase congestion*. They admit it in policy documents discussing the theory of #ReducedDemand.
Robbery with machetes and swords in main road congested traffic in Birmingham.
Much pause for thought, after the bankrupt local authority invested £millions in deliberately congesting its main roads with road closure (LTN) installations, to punish motorists for making trips.
@AccessibleRail @LittleNinjaUK @GreenJennyJones @ZackPolanski @LonGreenParty @NFBUK @SocEnvJustice @indieHackney @ShimanoSteve @TheFox89688362 @JAlaszewski @EvanDriscoll10 One of the greatest obstacles is the language’s class & ethnic prejudice which always permeated the #ReducedDemand and #ReducedAccess spaces; the idea of a level of *additional* harm which is “moderately acceptable”, suggested in the literature. Whether displacement or death. 1/
@MichelleStenzel .@chitribopinions: "B...B...But if we give bus riders dedicated lanes, where will all the cars go?" 🙄

When M&S and John Lewis up sticks, it's harder to do that.
If you embed car dependency through urban design and mass car storage inside cities, this happens.
It ain’t gonna “evaporate” through #ReducedDemand.
Idaho opened its first In-N-Out and the drive-thru wait was 8 hours… https://t.co/I388RxUYKY
@MumsForLungs @Against_3G I feel sorry for those trapped on slow-moving buses passing through affected areas, following our deliberate policy to congest main roads based on #ReducedDemand theory.
We should be talking a little about protecting local retail formats which don't generate this waste in bulk.
@josephkazUK @KatharinaH42 @Paul_Convery Advocating closures of existing roads is known as #ReducedDemand, whereas you discussed #InducedDemand. The difficulty with the former is where the roads closed still generate traffic *from themselves*, whilst we in fact still build more roads regionally (Silvertown, Wensum).
Looking at Lower Thames, Silvertown and multiple new motorway schemes across the UK, it appears we have a national policy to:
1) use #ReducedDemand in cities to incentivise fewer shorter trips &
2) use #InducedDemand outside cities to enable longer trips.

If LTNs are class war, they’re class war against poshos who own cars. Poor people don’t own cars.
Trades people and delivery drivers are held up by people make needless car journeys. If you hate the traffic, stop being part of it. #TrafficEvaporation #ReducedDemand
LTNs are mostly a class war. An assault on hard working tradesmen and women moving around materials. People who say “low income workers benefit from LTNs” are mainly White Paper Mansplainers who have never got off their laptops to speak to those their ideas effect.
@EcoTransportEB @PaulLomax @EvanDriscoll10 @carltonreid @LittleNinjaUK @MicheleRagusa6 @BillParryDavies @jksmith34 @indieHackney @ShimanoSteve @BeaumontThad @JAlaszewski @guardian So to clarify, the goal is:
1) to make long trips longer & *less* congested (the "build more roads to solve the problem" approach), and
2) to make short trips longer & *more* congested.
So #InducedDemand outside town and #ReducedDemand inside town. It all adds up. #Roadbuilding
@Knowlesy83 @cutnoise @lb_southwark @LittleNinjaUK It's fair to say that the main test of any noise policy should be the noise on main community roads, where most schools, shops & churches are.
The regrettable decision to create a new CPZ road off Camberwell New Road reveals that #ReducedDemand is not the true underlying policy.

Traffic evaporation 👇👇
➡️ When road capacity is shifted to other modes some peak-period traffic disappears from the network due to road users
👉 Shifting to other modes
👉 Shifting times of trips
👉 Shifting destinations
HT @NACTO
It's #TrafficLingoTuesday! The concept of #InducedDemand is that increasing roadway and parking capacity encourages more people to drive, thus failing to improve congestion. The inverse, #ReducedDemand, is also true. More on our FB & IG.

@AllchurchesT
The corollary to #InducedDemand is #ReducedDemand - reduce amount of lanes = reduce VMT. (Put roadway space into productive use instead of subsidy for wealthy car owners). #maga #aaa #econ101
@KUOW @moniguzman @robmckenna @mayormcginn Was funning hearing folks like @robmckenna argue against all evidence #InducedDemand #ReducedDemand are real. Now on @KUOW he's saying exact same thing when #Viaduct is gone & there's undeniable proof his baseless assumptions of "capacity" are wrong. https://t.co/KQq9CzOxOv
