@svpino Mate. Respect you but I don’t want to come to the USA. It’s not an attractive place for me. I want to be in traffic free cities and historic country with fine food and wine.

Overall, @CityWestminster have obvious priorities, and it ain’t people on foot or on bikes. Agenda to embed motor vehicles even further there for all to see. Thank the lord I’ll be moving jobs soon and won’t have to risk my life on their streets much longer.

3/ Observing pedestrians at junctions. Peds don’t get long to cross and gave to wait a long time. There are nice wide crossings on desire lines that have good paving. But what’s the point if you can’t cross for ages? Fair amount of uncertainty about vehicle movements too.

Moving house is when people are most likely to change their travel behaviour. It’s great that the hundreds of new residents in this development on the Lea Bridge Road now have a fully protected junction on their front door, making them much more likely to cycle.
