Breaking news! @SportEngland #ActiveLivesSurvey shows that walking for leisure has increased by 6.8%. That's over 3 million adults in England who are walking more! But there’s clearly a need for safer, more pleasant streets, as fewer people are walking for travel. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

70% of wheelchair users said pavement parking was a regular problem, forcing them into the road. London can ban pavement parking; why can't the rest of the country? There seems to be widespread support for it; for example, 78% of Daily Express readers back a ban. Let's do it.

Drivers should give way to those waiting at a zebra crossing (Rule 19) and must stop if a pedestrian is on the crossing (Rule H2)! Please be courteous and know the rules! Active Travel is a great way to improve your health and our environments for all! 💚

Is it acceptable that 39 people died in a collision on SYorks roads in 2023? If not, what is an acceptable number? The answer is simple: Zero. One of the biggest things you can do as a road user, is travel at a safe & appropriate speed. #barnsley #doncaster #sheffield #rotherham
