We've installed another three new simple zebra crossings, this time near Edgware Road. Without them drivers yield to pedestrians around 40% of the time. With them, it's around 80%. (Based on monitoring results from our first 4 sites)

Well done Greater Manchester! Now reaping the rewards of your consistent investment in ๐ network: walking up from 52% to 57% & short car trips down from 41% to 36% in the last 5 years. Residents confirm the ๐ network is enabling them to walk or cycle as part of daily lives.ย ๐
