Everyone says they care about road safety.
#Helsinki 🇫🇮 shows what that actually looks like.
Protecting children isn’t about words—it’s about design.
This is how you do it.
The rest is noise.
We are pleased to be supporting Safer Streets Woodgrange on their community bike ride on 26th April, to call for safer streets in the Woodgrange-Capel area. RSVP so we can organise the right number of marshals: https://t.co/Xgx5egbSzy

Your daily reminder that Low Traffic Neighbourhoods reduce air pollution across an entire area. Maps are nitrogen dioxide levels Waltham Forest 2007 vs 2017, after installing LTNs and protected cycle lanes.

🧑🔧 #FixYourRide is still in hibernation for the winter, but @NewhamLondon is running 🆓 FREE 🆓 Dr Bike sessions in West Ham Park—on the doorstep of the new #WestHamParkLTN—on Saturday 11 January and Saturday 1 February. Get your wheels ready for the new year 🚲🛠️
What makes #WestHamParkLTN so great? It's the 1st time our council is improving the side streets AND the main road (Romford Road) at the same time! Our vision is that everyone deserves to walk & cycle in safety on their street, no matter where in Newham they live. #WestHamPark
We'll be supporting kids & parents at Park Primary who'll be running their school Bike Bus on Monday 16th December, with an extended loop to celebrate Christmas and the new #WestHamPark LTN 🚸🚲🎄 Meeting point corner of South Esk Rd/Shrewsbury Road, 8am, bring Xmas lights!
Reminder that thanks to @ThamesWater's poor planning & @NewhamLondon chickening out of a road closure to make the diversion safe, 3,000 #Greenway users per day have been expected to contend with 9,000 motorists per day on a narrow bridge for almost 3 months. This is unacceptable.
A local resident writes: "I feel like motorists always speed down there and margery park road so hopefully it becomes safer now."
Our vision's for it to be safe to walk or cycle to every home, workplace & school—and LTNs are a cheap and effective way of delivering just that ❤️
Good news: Newham council have put up do not overtake cyclist signs on the road now at Greenway diversion.
Bad news: Every time you cycle on Abbey Rd - you're overtaken.
Awful news: What will happen unless serious measures are used as an alternative to this dangerous route.
The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th most #DangerousJunctions for cycling in Newham are on Stratford High Street, TfL #Cycleway2—where the bike lane disappears & becomes useless advance stop lines. @TfL have known it's dangerous for over a decade, and done nothing. We'll have more to share soon
😱 Halloween was yesterday, but #Greenway nightmare far from over: @NewhamLondon decided not to remove danger from Abbey Rd despite regular near misses. Now danger on the #NewhamSCREAMway until 2025, inc next week's #TubeStrike! Unacceptable. Read more: https://t.co/rt2454M7Lf
From bad to worse! @NewhamLondon, amidst a budget crisis, may not be able to implement the ETMO to close Abbey Road until *late November* & have had to redirect funding to do so. That will be almost 3 FULL MONTHS of danger for #Greenway users. A total farce thanks to @ThamesWater
