Fantastic deputation today at Edinburgh council’s Transport & Environment committee from Royal Park Terrace residents
They’re asking for a modal filter* in their street to prevent rat-running - a street that includes a school & care home & suffers from intrusive traffic trying to bypass London Rd

*a “modal filter” is a strategic closure to through motor traffic, that allows people walking or cycling to pass
They are low-cost & highly effective - shown to cut vehicle movements and crashes by 50%, as well as reducing street crime, pollution & noise
They simply make neighbourhoods better!
