More walking and cycling
Integrated transport plans covering all of, and the whole of, towns and cities that prioritise walkers and cyclists. There is not room for increased cycling and walking, and social distancing when so much of the road is taken up with lanes of traffic and parking on either side. Simple steps include:
-only allow resident permit holders to park in city centres
- introduce cul-de-sacs systematically to cut out through routes from non arterial roads
-double road / pavement width for pedestrians and cyclists on all roads other than core arterial routes
-timed delivery periods for trucks and vans in the city centre
Why the contribution is important
This is important for a number of reasons:
-building on the increased walking and cycling people are doing in lockdown
-green cities with better air quality
-less demand on public transport to allow for social distancing
-radically reducing car journeys
