Covid / Traffic Management Act

"We recognise this moment for what it is: a once in a generation opportunity to deliver a lasting transformative change in how we make short journeys in our towns and cities.....The government therefore expects local authorities to make significant changes to their road layouts to give more space to cyclists and pedestrians."

• Installing ‘pop-up’ cycle facilities ie cycle lanes
  

• Using cones and barriers to widen footways

• Encouraging walking and cycling to school

• Reducing speed limits to 20mph

• Introducing pedestrian and cycle zones: restricting access for motor vehicles at certain times (or at all times) to specific streets

• Modal filters; closing roads to motor traffic, for example by using planters or large barriers.

• Providing additional cycle parking facilities at key locations

• Changes to junction design to accommodate more cyclists

• ‘Whole-route’ approaches to create corridors for buses, cycles and access only on key routes into town and city centres.

• Identifying and bringing forward permanent schemes already planned
