Examples

“Hope⟳ came when the street was designated part of a so-called ‘quietway’, a London-wide initiative to create⟳ a network of continuous routes on side roads, particularly intended for less experienced riders, or older people, or children.” This in part involves using already-quiet streets, but also seeking to reduce⟳ car use⟳ on other residential roads. As part of this, residents of my street were consulted on the idea of blocking off the road to all but bikes at one end⟳, thus cutting traffic levels by about 95 per cent. A majority agreed.”
