    Note as seen in the Guardian picture that the UK has no proper signs, clear use of existing laws, or new legislation to deliver pedestrian priority areas

    With devolved powers Scotland could even drive this forward too, even before we factor in independence from UK...

    City Transport: Faster, Cheaper, Greener
    Rare Earth

    How we get around town has never been more political, with controversies over low traffic neighbourhoods and 15 minute cities, and rows about congestion charging and public transport breaking out all over the country. Tom and Helen are in search of the kind of consensus that makes things faster, cheaper and smoother for all of us. What works and what’s been a complete flop? Should we all stop moaning and get on our bikes? Who is the reshaping of traffic flows working - and not working - for? And could Milton Keynes have all the answers?

    With contributions from:

    Chris Boardman, Commissioner of Active Travel England.
    Stephen Potter, Emeritus Professor of Transport Strategy at the Open University
    Karen Lucas, Professor of Human Geography at the University of Manchester and Director of the Manchester Urban Institute
    Natalie Ashton. Senior Engagement Officer (North) at Transport for All
