Creating a specific law against dangerous cycling won’t make the roads less safe. But if you were to write a list of the best ways to actually improve road safety, it wouldn’t even be on the first A4 page. It’s 95% displacement activity.

We don’t ask what level of enforcement is appropriate for any other criminal activity, so why this bizarre consultation? Have your say - if you cycle, walk, use public transport or are just a motorist fed up with others breaking the rules -respond saying you want more enforcement
Caught out by driving in bus lanes or yellow box junctions? We want to hear from you on whether the current traffic enforcement measures are fair to drivers. Have your say by 11 May: https://t.co/roc2gQiDc4

Last year we applied for Active Travel England funding, but got much less than we hoped for. That was a fair reflection of where we were on our journey. Today, we have been given £4.86 million for improvements to walking and wheeling across South Yorkshire 🥳 🧵

🚴 | NEW REPORT: Only 2% of the transport budget is spent on active travel infrastructure. As a result, less people in England cycle or walk compared to the European average. We're calling for £50 per head per year for a decade to invest in active travel. https://t.co/XtaRtHTMCr

These include large returns on investment, addressing emissions from road transport, reducing regional inequalities, and improving health. Despite this, in

Flooding in cities across the UK - like this in Sheffield - is causing misery. Over 25% of CO2 is from transport - we can all help cut emissions by choosing to walk, cycle & use public transport. In London we’re delivering sustainable urban drainage to reduce flooding too.
