Increase safe cycling infrastructure
Government need to consider the complete redesign of key roads in and around cities to provide safe spaces for cycling and walking. Junctions should be redesigned in the "Dutch" approach to prioritise minimising of cycling and walking waiting to maintain social distancing.
Why the contribution is important
Active travel encourages healthy lifestyles and minimises pollution. Most importantly, redesigning our cities to support active travel will support safe social distancing and provide much more space for citizens through reduction of vehicle usage in city centres, reducing road space and increasing safe social spaces.

1. social distancing in a COVID -19 world
2. Public health - obesity/diabetes/ heart and circulation/lung conditions
3. air and noise pollution
4. less space required for driving and parking cars and therefore for available for cycling/walking; green and built infrastructure
plus loads more I am sure!
