Compare and contrast - less than 2 weeks between these 2 overtakes. I wonder what changed the driver's behaviour? Me thumping on the side of the truck, or contact from @SurreyPolice? #ClosePass
New tech trialled by @TransportForWM to improve safety by giving walkers & cyclists priority over vehicles. Installed at road crossings detecting cyclists earlier enabling traffic signals to go green sooner. Our director of external affairs @SarahMcMonagle commented on the trial:
Finally got to listen to this today (whilst driving ironically). Really great to hear the Secretary of State for Transport explain that the importance of Active Travel to solving the public health and the climate emergency is understood. Fingers crossed for the future!

🧵 1/2. Yesterday, Transport Secretary Louise Haigh announced the UK Government’s commitment to providing 'unprecedented levels of funding' for cycling and walking, as a key component in efforts to improve public health and reduce inequality.
🧵1/2. As the Paris Olympics wind down, let’s celebrate the city’s leap forward in cycling infrastructure! With 60km of new cycle lanes, 10,000 extra bike parking spots, and 3,000 new Vélib bikes, Paris is setting a new standard.

We like to think that we're aware of the negative consequences of a car dominated world, and that is, in part, behind our campaigning for better active travel facilities in our neighbourhoods. This is a good explainer of the things so many are blind to. youtu.be/-_4GZnGl55c?si…
🧵1/3. Our director of EA @SarahMcMonagle, said: "Congratulations to @LouHaigh on being appointed Secretary of State for @transportgovuk There's an exciting opportunity for the Labour government to bring positive and lasting change to the country through transport policy.
A child's life is cheap on UK roads. No interrogation of the evidence. No permanent withdrawal of the driver's licence. No media interest in the wider issues. No justice. #stopdekindermoord theguardian.com/uk-news/articl….

Still there.
As sure as night follows day... And note the pre-fastened seat belt... #pavementParking #untaxed And this despite a fairly high police presence around Ascot for some reason.
Interesting 20mph stuff! LTT roughly estimate the casualties avoided in🏴by 20mph saved £20M for the first 3 months. If the casualty figures in Q1 2024 are similar, the 20mph associated savings will exceed the £34m implementation cost within just the 1st 6 months!…
