Seems that some folk are sceptical about road safety benefit from reducing speed limit on Brum's existing 40 mph roads to 30 mph. Maybe time to look back at some GCSE physics: 'Forces, acceleration and Newton's Laws' ...

People in England averaged just 47 miles by bike annually in 2023, a 17% drop from 2022, and just over half the distance recorded in 2020. The average distance travelled on foot was 225 miles per person – the highest since the DfT survey began in 2002. gov.uk/government/sta…

Our Martin's mainly using Bluesky recently took some time with Naomi deSouza to discuss our city’s road deaths and what’s happened (or not) in response to the road safety emergency to prevent more. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

So, it's been a while since I annoyed anyone with a proposal for an area. It's time to put that right! I have been meaning to write this article Better Streets for Birmingham ever since the original consultation for Russell Road went live a couple of years ago.

Trying to get home in brum on the bus. As usual, stuck in traffic full of single occupancy cars. When are we going to decide this is unsustainable and do something about it? Richard Parker Better Streets for Birmingham

A return to school is a chance to reset patterns of behaviour; it is a good opportunity to be encouraged to cycle, to use public transport or to walk a little further to avoid congestion around the school campus improving safety and the environment for all. B14 News #walktoschool

The number of people killed on Birmingham roads this year is staggering, with a particularly deadly month in July. I worked with Better Streets for Birmingham to look at what needs to change, as they warn it could be "any one of us" next 👇birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

13 motorists have just ignored a red light on the Pershore Road…THIRTEEN! 😡 When can we expect to hear some plans for meaningful action on response to this road safety ‘emergency’ Bham City Council called over a month ago?
