    Corstorphine LTN implementation starts on Monday. All of one modal filter but I’ll take it.

    I’ve not heard any comment - positive, negative or indifferent - from any of the local Lib Dem councillors, MP or MSP.

    The trouble with only one modal filter is it will never be enough to drive any modal shift. And so there will be constant calls to “rip it out”

    LTNs need to be comprehensive, or not at all. Why don’t the council get this?

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - they need to sack all the existing roads engineers and get competent ones

    Urgent gas works on Meadow Place Road mean that the Corstorphine LTN trial has been postponed until April.

    We’ve conducted the biggest ever study into the impact of LTNs and the evidence is in: they work.

    Just cycled home from town. The anti-LTN folk seem to have turned Cowley Road into an LTN. Closed by Police at the Plain although waving bikes through with a smile. @TVP_Oxford also out in force on bicycles and horses. Few police cars. Nicely played Officers, nicely played.

    Objections to Ed council about Leith LTN include: "This is social engineering on a grand scale we have not seen since World War II."

    Some residents believe Grove Lane has become more dangerous due to the Dulwich Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) and Champion Hill No Entry Scheme.

    They say the schemes have displaced more traffic onto main thoroughfares like Grove Lane.

    However, according to Southwark Council’s traffic analysis data, traffic on Grove Lane has fallen by 12.7 per cent compared to pre-Covid levels.

    But a Times investigation previously found that MetroCount, the company responsible for gathering many local authorities’ traffic data, could be underestimating traffic flow.
