The transformation of people's lives when through-traffic is kept off the streets is astonishing. Low traffic neighbourhoods bring communities back to life. But the new barbarism is waging war on them. "The angry drivers insist that LTNs have been imposed on them. Well, whether they agree or not, there are consultations. But no one was consulted about their streets being used as short cuts. No one was consulted about facing a higher risk of asthma and dementia as a result of air pollution, or seeing their communities split by walls of traffic. No one was consulted about losing the places where neighbours could talk and children could play.” #traffic #airpollution #lowtrafficneighbourhoods #lowtraffic #carfree #carfreeday #pedestrian #cycling #cyclinglife #cyclinguk #oxford #onyourbike #kidsafe #neighbourhoods #peoplevsfossilfuels #climatecrisis #climatechange #bicycling #bicyclists #motorists #angermanagement #roadrage #drivers #cleanair #cleanairnow #pollution #environmental #journalism #ecocide #asthma
