twice as many.... that's better than a 52 / 48 % split eh?
sarcasm aside, you can see why the emergency services are opposed to it. surely anpr cameras and an 'emergency vehicles only sign would be a better option?

That's what has happened in Wandsworth, Ealing and Hammersmith & Fulham, probably others I haven't seen.
The signage of a lot of them is poor, I've had a few tickets through the post from it, and I'm expecting another few from Ealing from last week, I couldn't find a route to a job without going through at least one

When people are polled they are asked 'do you want streets that have less traffic, cleaner and greener streets'
Of course most people will say YES but in reality only a minority get it and it's bringing parts of London to a standstill.
10 minutes journeys are often take 30+ minutes and I tell you honestly that's no an exaggeration
It's not just LTN it's cycle lanes. I think cycling is a great idea but when you put bollards in a two lane road to make one lane for cycling and one for vehicles the vehicle lane get clogs up and the ambulances can't get through .
I've seen it ambulances blues and two's blaring stuck for vital minutes not being able to move. It's horrible.
I'm fortunate to be in a position to sell up, move out and get a bigger property but until these schemes were devised that never entered my mind.
Edit
BTW these LTN's were brought in under the guise of emergency covid restrictions without any public consultation and surprise surprise two local councillors near to me have managed to put their homes inside a LTN and tweet how fantastic it is.

So you're thinking of using your freedom of movement to migrate to somewhere nicer to live?
Lucky you.

A dirtbox at the end of a road is a cheaper solution

Seen it in Dulwich Village so where the schools are there's more traffic and fumes plus with King's being nearby the Ambulances are getting stuck in gridlocks.

The cycle bollards in tooting are causing a lot of that with ambulances, plus if you go through a red light to let one through you can't use it as a defence when you get the fine/points

Migrate - to move from one place to another.

that stinks
Tinhead - at the risk of sounding personal... it sounds like those councillors have had people's pants down...
you're right in terms of the questions of course. it's very easy to design a questionnaire that fools people into think if they say 'Yes' then they'll get the benefit over others...
and it's one of many policies / regulations / laws that have been snuck through while we're all looking at covid slides

It's been that way for a long time, they aren't supposed to have the sirens on if you cant move without going through the red, but I see coppers doing it all the time, sirens on, hitting the horn, shouting to move etc

Most certainly had my pants down. If you read my posts I've mentioned a few times about local corruption.
Last time was post #2169 in the News thread

I know what you're trying to do Jon but moving to another borough 10 miles away is hardly migrating.

I'm more concerned that emergency ambulances are losing their freedom of movement when migrating patients to A&E

this is a genuine question - have you contacted your local MP? or is s/he one of the ones benefiting from the lovely flowers and quiet street?
You'd think Labour would be on it if they can get a dig in....
