This is an extremely good article by @GeorgeMonbiot on the benefits of #LTNs. I'd just like to add something as a transport planner about an under-appreciated aspect of this. That of priorities. 1/n
The transformation of people's lives when through-traffic is kept off the streets is astonishing. Low traffic neighbourhoods bring communities back to life.
But the new barbarism is waging war on them. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Making cities more walkable and cyclable is so important.
But change is hard. In my local area in Oxford Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) currently being trialled.
Angry drivers have repeatedly removed bollards blocking them from cutting through quiet residential roads.

People driving cars: I might be delayed.
People running businesses: I might make less money.
People riding cycles: I might be killed.

Me: We need fewer cars, less driving & better cities.
Strawman: We could never completely ban cars.
Anecdoter: How will I get my kid to hockey or get to work from my car-dependent suburb?
Tech booster: cars will be electric in blank years anyway…
Me again: Listen carefully…
