New study from Melbourne finds reducing residential speed limits from 50km/h to 30 km/h on local roads would protect cyclists from danger, make riding less stressful and get more people cycling while not causing traffic delays for cars.
Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-ten chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it was a nine-in-ten chance

No coincidence that they are denying climate change and trying to revoke climate emergency’s in local government organisations then…

It’s just possible that the Labour voices who urged Khan to ditch Ulez expansion after the Uxbridge by-election were not, after all, strategic geniuses.
184 years earlier than predicted, London has met the legal limits for toxic NO2 for the first time.

This historic milestone proves that bold action like expanding ULEZ works, protecting children’s health and giving millions cleaner air to breathe.
London Ulez reduced nitrogen dioxide to legal limit, mayor says
The mayor of London says the fall in airborne toxins is due to the Ultra low emission zone expansion.

Great to meet you today @drjomaher.bsky.social ! If you ever want to visit South Devon and come for a ride with Larry the Unicorn and I, let me know!
Yes, you are probably right in most cases. Sadly, I think I have experienced both.
Hate that kind of gaslighting - goes on so much!
We believe in safer, fairer, healthier streets for Torbay. Walking, cycling, wheeling & public transport bring stronger communities. Follow us & be a part of creating a Bay where travel works for everyone.
Sadly, when people vote in climate change deniers pseudo science is given power.
Reform are proposing to “rescind” the climate emergency
declared by Kent County Council in 2019 in a move branded "anti-science & dangerous" by the Greens on the council

Green cllr Stuart Jeffery: "“Reform’s paper to council is full of conspiracy theories and garbage science. The science is clear."

If ever you wondered what you would have behaved like in 1930s Germany, what you behave like today will tell you.

Choose to oppose Nazis. Choose to oppose hate.

There's no middle ground here.
Will we see some bold leadership with regards to improving sustainable transport and consulting children/ young people so we can build a better future for them?
And also - it’s super creepy to follow you home. Go home type up and print off a letter then return to post through your door…
Hmm…do you find drivers notice the thumbs down? I go for an outstretched arm to demonstrate space, not sure people understand though!

This is amazing!
As the world burns and demand for AC skyrockets, one desert city solved the heat problem 2,500 years ago.

No fossil fuels. No electricity. Just brilliant design.

These are Yazd’s windcatchers - ancient climate tech that beats anything being built today. 🧵

Walking rates are up, according to today's National Travel Survey data - but the government is failing to meet the target of 55% primary school children walking to school.

The problem? Streets are not safe for walking.

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

Don't fall for it.
MIGRANTS AREN'T THE PROBLEM
INEQUALITY IS
