@cbdbug@JonathanPBryant @bne_lordmayor @WelshGovernment@PrifWeinidog They're also ditching all their road building plans and starting from scratch, prioritising active travel over cars.

In "the most significant change in UK roads building policy over the last 20 years" Wales is scrapping all road building plans to start afresh with an eye on encouraging sustainable and #activetransport over car use.

@BicycleNSW Our smart sensors spotted this at a UK school (hence MPH)- blue=dropoff, red = pickup. Good behaviour during these time but a lot more than 5% speeding outside! I wonder what the real figures are here in Australia? #RoadSafety#pedestrian@VivacityLabs
@bne_lordmayor @WiskAero@NewYorker@SEQMayors Sounds fun! If you'd like to know how we helped the 2022 Birmingham Games leave a legacy of reduced congestion and increased active transport, we'd love to speak with you!
@CityNewcastle That's brilliant! Improved foot traffic for local business is one of the big things we pick up when cycles and pedestrians replace cars. If you need to know how it's impacting vehicle journey times, drop me a line :)
@pjg2f This is the type of situation we're working with Bicycle Network to avoid - we're using AI to identify dangerous situations, quantify the likelihood of serious accidents, and trace back if it's due to design flaws, user error, or a combination.
@fietsprofessor Interestingly, the predictions point to congestion worsening with electric vehicles as cost of ownership drops below that of ICE vehicles combined with population growth.
@katie_cardigan Our team in the UK has been working with a load of school districts on their similar School Streets programs, adding emissions monitoring. CoM already has some of our sensors, would be keen to see some helping Melbourne kids get moving! https://t.co/GFBtQA8Xyx
Our car-dependent status quo is the result of political choices that have steered decades of financial-, spatial- and design decisions.
It is time to repoliticize these decisions that shape our public spaces.
