When we build bigger roads, we get more traffic. Congestion briefly gets better, then the same, then worse. £Billions is spent in the process. Instead of dualling roads, what if we used the space for active travel instead? Here’s a thread on why it should happen.🧵

Exactly why they shouldn’t be anywhere near office during a climate crisis.
We will begin to tackle Leicester’s transport problems within 100 days of taking office in May. The plan: 1) Free Saturday Parking 2) Clean up our streets 3) Remove Pop up bicycle lanes @CityMayorLeic and @OweniteAdam have left our roads behind. It’s time for change.

With more people looking for cheaper travel options, it's more important than ever to give everyone safe cycle routes so they can easily choose not to drive everyday journeys. Now's the time to make it simple for people to choose the right tool for the job #BikeIsBest

Spot on. This driver, who beeped and shouted at me to use the cycle path, demonstrates his lack of understanding of the Highway Code, and the crappy infrastructure that’s just a white line up the pavement and makes cyclists gives way at every junction whilst going uphill.
I feel that if a road cyclist takes the separated bike lane, it is a good indication it’s great bit of infrastructure 👍 If they refuse to take it and cycle in the road instead, it’s probably a sign it’s a whole load of crap and should be redesigned 👎

In 2014, this French weather presenter announced the forecast for August 18, 2050 as part of a campaign to alert to the reality of climate change. Now her forecast that day is the actual forecast for the coming 4 or 5 days, in mid-June 2022.

Imagine being that selfish. A pavement is still covered under the wider definition of a ‘road’ - so obstructing the pavement is the same offence as obstructing a lane of traffic.
