    How can we get people walking?
    • Reduce traffic volumes

    • Reduce traffic speeds

    • Widen pedestrian pavements

    • Permeability and connectivity: making sure all schools, housing areas and shopping centres are linked by high quality pedestrian facilities including those on traffic free routes.

    • Re-set all pedestrian activated light controlled crossings to reduce waiting time for pedestrians to no more than 25 seconds and make them genuinely responsive to the pedestrian pushing the button.

    • Active policing to detect and prosecute speeding vehicles including those going faster than 20mph on 20mph streets.

    • Detect, prosecute and deter motorists going through red lights.

    What cycle-friendly cities?

    London is a horrific place to walk. It is worth paying the £1000000 for tube tickets.

    Where are these cycle friendly cities of which you speak? The Netherlands? Denmark? Germany? Switzerland perhaps?
