Low Traffic Neighbourhoods rely for their success on the removal of through motor traffic - but what are the best ways of achieving that? therantyhighwayman.blogspot.com/2021/02/better…

Of course, it’s more than just children who benefit from plowed and salted cycle tracks (spotted in the exact same location a few hours later).

To paraphrase Enrique Peñalosa: A plowed and salted cycle track is a symbol that a child on a $30 bicycle is equally important as an adult inside a $30,000 car.

From a trip to #Utrecht in 2019 It's remarkable that this is decidedly unremarkable to those participating in the scene I know videos of this area are common, but I'll never not be amazed 1/

Video by @BethnalCleen showing off the rebuilt Old Bethnal Green Road in East London. They’ve been working on making this road one way for cars with a protected cycle contra flow. This is part of a large area wide Low Traffic Neighbourhood.

Here’s how they’re used in the Netherlands. The footway remains level, while motorists have to drive up and over the kerb cycling-embassy.org.uk/dictionary/con…

Want level footways/cycleways across driveways and minor road junctions? This kerb is going to allow it to happen easily in the UK

Bumpy surface for cars - smooth surface for cycling. How it should be done!

Dutch PM arrives (as usual) by bike. He doesn’t just cycle for the cameras (as some have suggested), it’s just how folks roll here, we regularly see him on our path when no other journos are in sight 🇳🇱

"Dutch Cycling culture was not a pre-ordained outcome, but a result of a multi-decade focus challenging assumptions on car-based urban planning, and developing thorough and comprehensive infrastructure in towns and cities across the country." @stratageeb1 metro-magazine.com/10134531/cycli…

It’s worth watching this @BicycleDutch video of a new ‘fast' cycle route in the Netherlands, as it demonstrates how these routes are “just” upgrades of existing cycling infrastructure that was already of a good standard - youtube.com/watch?v=Gia4GN…

It was already quite safe to cycle between cities in the Netherlands. Now it is being made more comfortable and convenient. Regional routes are being upgraded to make them direct, attractive, and easy-to-navigate; converting car journeys to the (e-)bike. bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2021/01/13/ano…
