And if the 175m road is drawn to scale, you would have to bulldoze the buildings...

One explanation: the pollution is unpleasant, so each local community is keen for cars to linger near them as little as possible. In contrast, people walking cause no harm, so they are made to wait.

Does HS2 have a future? And why does that question hinge on an unseen government document and a sugar mill in Nottinghamshire?

Massive congrats to @mikehakata.bsky.social and team for years of hard work on this. My old stomping ground in Bruce Grove had one of the worst records for people getting hurt while walking and cycling. After the LTN, casualties have reduced by *60 per cent*

Pothole tax on SUVs anyone?

Indeed, the 'cyclists Vs motorists' debate is greatly exaggerated: in London, those living in car owning households are as likely to cycle each week as those without a car

Tackling climate change relies on millions of people making different choices. For those trying to make that happen, understanding what drives those people - many of whom will disagree with our personal politics - is essential to making change work in practice.

Avoiding flying is one of the hardest ways to cut emissions, but it could be easier. What if you could change between international rail lines like a massive metro? What if you could plan trips with a map as clear as the London Underground's? It could look something like this #TubeMapForEurope

When it comes to transport emissions - the UK has been implicitly telling people how they should get around for decades: by car. People respond to the *system* around them. Responsibility has to start with those who design that system, not individuals making choices within it

Today the GLA published its annual ‘Housing in London’ report data.london.gov.uk/housing/hous.... It has 70 pages of analysis and data visualisations and I think you should read the whole thing, but here is a thread with some of the key findings.

And because a faster bus is a cheaper bus to run, local authorities can also make buses more affordable by putting in more bus lanes (or get higher frequencies for the same cost)

Exactly this. We drove from #Swindon to #Swansea today to see family because trains were £Silly. If Trains were cheaper it would actually be a choice....

The idea that prioritising cars somehow provides people with more choice is the biggest misconception in transport. Instead, making it easier to drive sets off three distinct vicious cycles that lock in more car use and *less* choice
