I'll take a look but after a quick glimpse I see Imperial College is mentioned, I don't trust them one little bit, they falsify data and Peter Walker of the Guardian peddles it.
I'll see if I can work through that.

How to pretend reduce traffic
Cause a traffic outside with vehicles only edging along, then only measure cars doing over 10Km/hour.

Oxford in the news again.
There is a video that starts with the cost to the council to repair vandalised LTN bollards.
At this point in the video it shows how unfair and divisive some LTNs can be.

I urge everyone to sign this petition.
It's not a petition for or against LTNs (Low Traffic Neighbourhoods), it's just a review to make sure they are installed properly and fairly.
Safeguard yourself. If you local council wants to install a LTN in your area then surely you want it independently reviewed?

Signed it. I don't agree with the tin foil hat scaremongering that some people are trying to attach to the proliferation of LTN, but they are a pain in my hole trying to get around.

I wonder if many other people will, only takes a minute.
I suppose many people think it's nothing to do with them and believe they'll never introduce a scheme where they live.
But nothing is certain, maybe nothing will happen but these schemes have a habit of turning up where they are not necessary, maybe it will benefit everyone, on the other hand it could be that someone has decided to unfairly dump their traffic onto someone else.
All this petition asks is for independent reviews of schemes.

Have you signed that petition yet, it only takes a minute, or do you prefer taking to the streets and protesting.

Don't think it will never happen to you.

Sign the petition so that if these type of schemes are to go through then at the very least they should be independently reviewed.

Road Charging
Oh dear.
Going by previous responses on here I doubt if most people will be interested, it will never happen where they live.
If electric vehicles go ahead and you can no longer buy petrol/diesel vehicles by 2030 this is how they will make up for loss of fuel duty revenue.

Or you'll have to get the bus or other transport more often Blankalot. You can't hold back the future because they drew a line and it didn't suit you.

I already use public transport a lot.
Probably doesn't affect champagne socialists like yourself but I don't think I'll be the only one who thinks it's wrong, what about carers and other under valued people on low wages that are already facing the ULEZ.
I don't think telling them that they holding back the future will go down well..

It'll definitely be hard for some. I went to fish at Walthamstow Reservoirs earlier in the year; about a mile inside the zone and less than 15 mins driving in total, charge = £17.50 (more than the fishing!) My "fishing car" is a small diesel that's just a little bit older than the 2016 cut off. It'll certainly put me off doing it regularly, and really the only "loser" here is the Wetlands centre itself since it'll lose the revenue. I'd have probably bought a season ticket this year, but the ULEZ charge effectively doubles the price, and I am not changing the car.
It definitely got me thinking about how those who live inside the zone and cannot afford to change their non-compliant cars would cope - guess they've got no choice. Despite all this, I think that measures need to be in place to combat unnecessary car use and to reduce the pollution in our cities. Whether this is the right way, or fair, or can be improved, I honestly don't have the answers. I do know that the list of cars that are compliant is pretty vast in comparison to those that are not, however it's not a great deal of help for anyone that's already in possession of one that's subject to the charge and the expansion will likely impact a lot of people.
