Here’s to a fresh start in 2026: calmer streets, greener corners, flourishing local shops, and a safer, happier neighbourhood where we all feel welcome. Wishing you a peaceful, healthy and community-spirited New Year, The Barnsbury & Laycock Community Streets team

And we know detection rates are woefully low, so you’d have to be breaking the law persistently to get caught this frequently

Except when it's cars; rules/srandards/morals don't apply.

Once is a careless mistake. Anything more is habitual careless driving. Another reckless fool left to put everyone else in danger..

You'd think that someone who is "the main breadwinner and carer for your family and within the family members have life-limiting conditions" would do all they could to avoid "speeding in April 2023, running a red light in February 2025 and driving without due care and attention in April 2025."

Brilliant video from Jon Stone (do follow and subscribe to him at the link) on London's growing cycling infrastructure. Proud Camden gets a strong showing, and great to see neighbours like Westminster also getting the acknowledgement they deserve 😃 youtu.be/MdAz-OL09z4?...

What was delivered in 2025 and what's in store for 2026? Our Chair, @mrmjprice.bsky.social, takes a moment to summarise what's going on with Birmingham's transport plans. #Birmingham #Transport #Bus #Train #Tram #Cycling #Walking #ActiveTravel #BirminghamCityCouncil #WMCA #TfWM #WestMidlands

Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods: what the latest evidence tells us": behaviour change. 24% said they walk more, 18% said they visit local shops more frequently, and 17% said they had made more use of public transport. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65f400...

#Plymouth has a new, kerb-protected cycle lane. Looks great, doesn't it? Well, at 1st glance it does.

Best wishes to all for a happy Christmas and safer streets in the new year. 🎄🎄💚💚

BSR’s Xmas wish list: - fully pedestrianised Old & New Towns - low-traffic neighbourhoods for every area - school streets for every school - nature corridors - protected bike lanes on all main roads - congestion charging - reduced on-street parking

Watch out for people walking and cycling. What the hell, go 60 mph if you like on this narrow country lane.

Film star Ava Gardner riding at MGM studios Happy #BicycleBirthday, Ava! December 24 (1922-1990)

🎄 🎁 We kick off Christmas week with even MORE new cycling infrastructure to celebrate in Newham: the next chunk of Westfield Avenue is surfaced, lined, and opened! And the protected connections to International Way and Olympic Park Ave do not look far behind. Great work @newhamcouncil.bsky.social!

One for expert on cases of murder charges where driver has killed Professor Sally Kydd: www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/d... Some points: A. Remember that a horrific case like this is a very unusual type of road death. It's an "iceberg tip" which shouldn't be used as a lightning conductor diverting 1

Motonormativity is a term that should be discussed more in the transportation community @ianwalker.bsky.social @drtaragoddard.com Thanks to @streetsforall.org for this youtu.be/dVwsCFCgT_o?...

Germany shifts over 2 million e-bikes every year. France: over 500,000. Britain? It will be lucky to get to 150,000. Why? Because people need to feel safe to cycle, and that requires serious and sustained government support, which has not been forthcoming. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/de...

For many of us in Outer London, the only lights we want to experience for Christmas on our walking routes are pedestrian crossing lights on the roads you control.

LTNs: what the latest evidence tells us: that people living in LTNs reduced the distance they drove by around 6% more than those living outside them. Quieter streets make local journeys feel safer and more appealing on foot or by bike. findingspress.org/article/7547...

Cycle tracks in Nelson coming along. Some of the details aren't quite there and there are a fair few gaps in protection/segregation from pedestrians but generally the road space has been reallocated and that's what matters.

The new section of the #TaffTrail in Hailey Park has opened. What do you think?

The lorry driver claimed the fatal crash occurred “within a couple of seconds” of his vision being impaired and that he “couldn’t have done anything differently”

The argument that banning someone who has deliberately used their car as a weapon from driving is too severe a limitation of their mobility & opportunity for employment should be a damning indictment of how society treats people who don't or can't drive - who are disproportionately disabled &/ poor.

New research finds that car touchscreens are so distracting that they induce "significant performance degradation" among drivers. Meanwhile, in-vehicle touchscreens remain completely unregulated in the US. doi.org/10.1145/3746...

In 2021, two new cycling bridges were opened on the border between Dutch places 's Hertogenbosch and Vught. Previously, there was a level crossing intersection but with the arrival of a new turbo roundabout for car traffic, this was no longer desirable in terms of safety and traffic flow. 🧵 1/3

"The woman became stuck underneath the Range Rover as it then travelled along the road before the vehicle stopped a short time later" Seriously, how distracted or otherwise do you have to be to hit a cyclist and the ln drive on with them trapped underneath.🤬🤬 www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

This pic is a few years old, but Dick van Dyke is still out there today, completing his 100th trip around the sun (with or without the bicycle). Happy 100 years to actor Dick Van Dyke! #BicycleBirthday Born December 13, 1925

Debates on Low Traffic Neighbourhoods often focus on disabled people's experiences. In a new paper led by @ersiliav.bsky.social and @tricyclemayor.bsky.social, we use videos/interviews to explore the impacts on disabled people's everyday walking and wheeling. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Two minutes of footage of wheelchair users on bike lanes in Paris. A classic video I posted on Twitter a few years ago I had not posted here yet.

Exclusive: More than 50 groups connected to transport and public health have urged the transport secretary, Heidi Alexander, to set specific targets for levels of walking and cycling in England, warning that plans as they stand are too vague. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A look at the completed Deptford Church St route, now marked as C18. At the end of the road heading towards Deptford Bridge, the markings are still just "C". @edmondchuihw.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social @safecycleldn.bsky.social

De Snelbinder cycle bridge. Opened in 2004, attached to the side of an existing 1879 railway bridge, it runs for 2km linking Nijmegen to Lent by bike, alongside trains. Same crossing, different century. This is what decades of serious investment in cycling and sustainable urban planning looks like.

@camdencyclists.bsky.social This link between Murray Street / Agar Grove has planters placed in the brand new cycle path. Can you ask the Council to remove them?

@americanfietser.bsky.social, another for your ‘normalising bike use’ Husband had 4 month review today following his near fatal stroke. Apparently they’re not used to people arriving by bike. Our @ternbicycles HSD has been instrumental in getting him back on 2 wheels, even resumed his work commute

Fantastic to see these plans for barrier removal and dropped kerb improvements on loads of traffic-free routes around Hull. #Disability #Access www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just been out on first excursion on crutches ( to doctors) Please can councils clear the wet slippery leaves from the pavements.
