Pollution levels won't get to acceptable levels if we keep on using motor vehicles in the same way we are now. Giving priority to pedestrians and cyclists is one way of encouraging more people to use active travel modes. It is national, regional and local policy to encourage and prioritise active travel and public transport.  The car is no longer king and has not been so for some time now. That isn't going to change and if anything, there are likely to be more restrictions, so you'd best get used to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Even if it was door to door, plenty would still use their cars.  Cars shouldn't be allowed in city centres without good reason. Pedestrianised areas are much more pleasant, the temporary pedestrianisation of Division St being a good example. Edited October 23, 2019 by Bargepole23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
