A really good point. The safe route from #kingsheath to city centre along Rea Valley / Route 5 through Balsall Heath / Highgate takes probably double the time it would if you could safely follow the 50 route. Not sure motorists appreciate how much others have to adjust to be safe

Great to see. Word seems to spread fast as crossing Station hasn’t been as safe last couple of days with speeding drivers. Let’s hope it stays longer this time 🤞🏻

The launch of Birmingham's Clean Air Zone on 1 June is just the beginning of cleaning up the air in Birmingham. Our latest Air Quality Action Plan sets out several key ambitions for the next five years. Read more about it here: orlo.uk/kiDh7 #BrumBreathes

no evidence that low-traffic neighbourhood schemes hold up emergency vehicles, writes ⁦Peter Walker⁩ theguardian.com/environment/bi…

Pedestrianised York Road in the sunshine with places open is even better than expected. The absolute jewel in the crown of the #kingsheath Low Traffic Neighbourhood. Such a buzz last night. Let’s never go back to how it was before please

KingsHeathCAN York Road has been crying out for this for years

KingsHeathCAN We loved sitting in the sunshine at Grace+James with lots of people and no cars

Drivers Congestion or pollution is not a symptom of cycle lanes or an #LTN Here are nine drivers in single-occupancy private vehicles thinking it's an efficient and sensible choice for transporting a single human across a city. That's your problem, too many vehicles.

See Park Hill in Moseley or numerous other historic filters across the city

This week, I asked folks to name an idea in urbanism that they wish got more attention. One caught my eye more than any other: induced demand. It’s got perhaps the least sexy name ever, but it’s vital in understanding how our roads work. So, here’s a thread explaining it.

⚠️⛔️ Moor Green Lane and Shutlock Lane are CLOSED for water main work until 4th June. This will cause additional congestion around the centre of #KingsHeath and on Pershore Road approaching Edgbaston as traffic diverts. #Birmingham

Journey times not significantly affected if traveling by foot, trike, cargobike, cycle or eScooter. #NCN5 #ReaValley currently running with no disruption👍 #trafficalert #transport #Birmingham

During 2020 we all noticed fewer motor vehicles on our roads. Our quieter roads were filled with people cycling. I was one of them. We have an opportunity to maintain this trend, let's seize it. ❤️🏃🏾‍♀️🚲🦽🛴 @BWMnetwork @ColmorePe Woodthorpe Junior & Infant School WheelersLane Primary Sustrans West Midlands

And we need many many more in 2021 to avoid a car based recovery
