Oxfordshire traffic puts bus funding at risk, warns local firm bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Ambulances and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods - after a video showing an ambulance appearing to get lost around LTNs in Oxford last week we asked SCAS about it. So in case you missed it on BBC Oxfordshire (as there’s more discussion on here about this tonight) this what they said:

Outstanding work from the folks vandalising the East Oxford LTNs here. Damaged a removable bollard by ripping it out / driving over it so much that when a fire engine wants to come through they have to cut it because their key doesn't work. Nice one 👍 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Firefighters delayed by LTN because vandalised bollard wouldn't unlock bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Here’s why people cycling two abreast is actually better for people driving motor vehicles. It’s quite simple really.

From the Daily Telegraph: (£) Congestion charging zones, low traffic neighbourhoods and road tolls must be introduced across Britain to drive the public away from using cars, Boris Johnson’s infrastructure adviser has said. telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/…

The National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) has published a report warning ministers against a “wait and see” approach towards encouraging drivers to switch to public transport.

Just in case you weren't sure what modes of transport are being prioritised in big Oxford infrastructure projects.... Yep, it's four lanes of vehicular traffic 🤦

Great to see the Magdalen Road community coming together to promote local businesses... Magdalen Road is most definitely open!

Redlight jumpers - but cyclists!!!

Official road traffic estimates published today by Department for Transport show that cycling is the mode with the largest percentage increase since 2019 #ActiveTravel gov.uk/government/sta…

Boost your local high street this Christmas by making it more inviting to walk and cycle. As TfL research shows, if you want to see thriving high streets, ensuring walking and cycling is easy, safe and attractive delivers major benefits content.tfl.gov.uk/walking-cyclin…

🥳🎉🚲💥Cycleway 9 on King Street has been made permanent! 🥳🎉🚲💥 Well done everyone at Hammersmith & Fulham Council (& TfL colleagues) and massive thanks to the brilliant H&F Council cycling officer Richard Duffill.

Why does Copenhagen invest so much in cycle infrastructure? They calculated every km. cycled produces a societal economic gain of DKK 4.79 (€0,64); every km. driven loses DKK 5.29 (€0,71). Society therefore saves DKK 10.08 (€1,35) per km. when people cycle rather than drive.
