Remember the road hierarchy, by cyclists, for cyclists? Weren’t pedestrians prioritised above cyclists?

Piece in the FT about Bath LN’s. Yet again, the problem is that people who oppose them are stupid, apparently.
Reckoned rows about low-traffic neighbourhoods were a simple matter of heartless councils against angry residents? You might think again after reading my election-time dispatch from Bath:

Southlands LN working well. Allegedly, this van is parked/ abandoned to work for one of the LN supporters. Must have got there by driving on the pavement!!!! Potentially stunning hypocrisy

Bristol Greens. Love it/ hate it? Not good if you are disabled, and seems aimed mostly at cyclists (shock) and wealthier people who can afford to live in the City. Zero clue on disability, elderly ignored, and public transport promises that just can’t be delivered at local level.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐲.Here's a thread with some of @bristolgreen's ideas for how to improve transport ahead of the council elections on Thursday 2nd May. 🧵

Here’s the charmless Greens, these three clowns know better than the residents about local communities. And guess what? The answer is always an LN.
'Soft' Safety Measures fail taxpayers. We urge action for effective road safety interventions in Liveable Neighbourhoods. Costly road calming alone isn't cutting it, as detailed in Charmouth Rd & Mount Rd examples. Read more: #BathNES #RoadSafety.

Wonder if Manda and the rest of the BANES Councillors will spot this.
LTNs Low Traffic Neighbourhoods . After 6 months Corstorphine LTN has increased traffic up to 70% on some roads and fewer people are walking and cycling. And rather than reduce traffic overall, it has displaced traffic to surrounding streets.

Bristol Aiport bus station. Shabby, exposed to elements. No real time information. No unreal time information. Bus 20 minutes late. Tell me again, why do people not leave their cars at home??

Prague - quality tram, bus and metro. £15 for 72 hours travel (Or £6 if over 60). Regular, reliable, good coverage of City. And if you live here, just £120 for a year pass. Well used, and not too many cars in the City. Meanwhile, the UK thinks high fares, roadblocks & bikes!!.
