1/n Wandsworth LTN results:
> LTNs *did* reduce motorised traffic in trial areas;
> removing LTNs resulted in traffic returning at over 300 vehicles/hour;
> but even with high traffic, residents don& #39;t want LTNs.
#HighTrafficNeighbourhoods
Eg below, repeated across all trial areas
2/n Wandsworth LTN data is taken from paper https://democracy.wandsworth.gov.uk/documents/s77681/20.337%20Transport%20Action%20Plan.pdf">https://democracy.wandsworth.gov.uk/documents... to the Wands BC Transport Ctte 4 November : https://democracy.wandsworth.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=678&MId=6608">https://democracy.wandsworth.gov.uk/ieListDoc...
3/n #A24 #CS7 cycle lane:
> #TfL had "extensive dialogue" with Wands BC before installing wands - contrary to claims by local Tory councillors that the scheme was imposed without consultation;
> Tweaks continue, but bus journey times are broadly similar to before.
4/n #A24 #CS7 cycle lane:
> "the number of people cycling has increased"
5/n Wandsworth pedestrianised street trials:
> Streets closed to aid shopping and alfresco dining
> Hugely popular - trade was up 30% YoY!
> Note para 19 about "traditional concerns" about loss of parking - businesses and residents now asking for schemes to be extended
6/6 Final thought (for now): if you think ANPR cameras are the easy answer for LTNs and school streets, remember that (London& #39;s) drivers routinely ignore traffic signs if they think they can get away with it

"150,000 video clips to review from 4 locations in 3 weeks"
7/ Wands BC& #39;s transport paper (up top https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👆" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach oben" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach oben">) unpacks responses to the #LowTrafficNeighbourhood consultations, saying that most residents are against them.

The consultations were planned to run *until February 2021 and are still live*

8/ ... so are the #LTN consultation "results" really a measure of what local residents want?
Or just a reflection of how local antis were quick to respond, whilst the (silent) majority assumed they had six months to provide Wands BC with feedback?
