LTNs have the potential to reduce car ownership. What else to try? Tax them more? Ban oversize SUVs?

I see little evidence of LTNs reducing car use & car ownership. LTN schemes must be improved to reduce traffic emissions on main roads before increasing it. The scheme designers must acknowledge and act on this.

Im still Interested though: how would you reduce car ownership in the long term?

If councils phase out kerbside car parking spaces, that would reduce car ownership in the long term.
Should phased car ownership reduction, by not issuing new parking permits inside LTNs, be part of the LTN scheme.

Call a halt to them, remove existing. Then letβs have an adult discussion on how to do something that actually works but not conducted by lobbyists with conflicts of interest

We all live in a city and not the countryside. Cityβs need to move about efficiently itβs just a simple fact. If they are strangled we all suffer.
