I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a good 2026!

Chapel St East now open! 😍🚶‍♀️👨‍🦽‍➡️🛴🚲🚌🚛

I really cannot recommend this excellent piece on Hammersmith Bridge highly enough

A "trixie" crossing? One for the glossary @roads.org.uk ! assets.dft.gov.uk/trafficauths...

Looking forward to the “Reform’s war on motorists” headlines.

I'm not sure Network Rail understand suitable x-heights on signs... This is seen increasingly more and more these days. (picture from a friend)

New! After eight years of waiting, they're online! See London's unbuilt motorways as even their planners never could in our amazing, immersive Ringways Map, hosted by the amazing SABRE Maps. It *might* be the best thing we've ever done. #ringways

Good to hear everyone is safe looking at that damage - notably the train driver! It will be interesting to know what similarities if any this incident has to the Carmont derailment back in 2020. Hopefully lessons have been learned. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's nice when you know what you want to do in life at this age

There's a few of these lining the Thames in Reading. Vintage. @showmeasign.online

The congestion charges started in Oxford today. If only they had someone check the spelling on the signs!

Was quite nice to stumble across this last week in the Chilterns. The Centre for Outdoor Accessibility has a lot of gates for testing!

One added benefit of seeing @jayforeman.bsky.social and @markcooperjones.bsky.social launch their excellent book in Bristol on Thursday was I got a taste of some Dutch kerbs!

Right now there are a lot of Union Jacks hanging from streetlights and St George's Crosses on mini-roundabouts. Kent is bucking the trend by permanently adding EU flags to its road signs. Just what is going on in Dover? www.roads.org.uk/blog/red-whi...

We trust you have your proper cup of tea ready, for it is with the greatest pleasure that we announce the Project UK Rework for Euro Truck Simulator 2 🇬🇧 We’re ever so pleased to share a little more about our forthcoming plans ☕️ Read more at our blog: blog.scssoft.com/2025/10/proj...

1980's advert, still one of the best I've seen for making a fundamental point, simply.

You can catch a train to France if you want, but back in the 80s there were hopes you'd be able to drive there too. Meet EuroRoute, the unbelievable plan for a road across the Channel via bridges, a tunnel and two artificial islands. www.roads.org.uk/articles/eur...

A sump buster for @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social and some interesting use of advisory speed signs for @showmeasign.online

Manchester City Council have lowered the speed limit on the Mancunian Way to 30mph. Or at least they say they have - but creating a 30 limit on a motorway is, legally, almost impossible. So what is the speed limit now? #manchester www.roads.org.uk/blog/schrodi...

Nice to see more Dutch kerbs being installed

Settling in to Reading well, it's a lovely place but the cycle infrastructure is almost non-existent. Shall join the local cycling campaign group at their next meeting to see if I am of any use.

They aren’t just flower beds!!! Fascinating peak beneath the surface of one of London’s new Cycleways - you can see the complex drainage system that ensures bike lanes help protect the capital from heavy rain & the effects of climate change. And don’t they look great when they’re finished? 💚🚲👍

While I understand the BBC’s imperative to provide balance in stories, at times it can feel completely ludicrous. Data vs one person’s entirely anecdotal opinion isn’t balance.

Almost 900 fewer people have been injured on Welsh roads since the default speed limit was lowered from 30 to 20mph two years ago Casualties on 20 to 30mph roads between July and September 2024 were the lowest for the three month-period since records began in 1979 👏 Evidence-led policy

Good to see the demand for 20mph in villages throughout Gloucestershire.

For some upcoming training, we've redesigned a client's junction for them to show the art of the possible - a Cycle Optimised Protected Signals (CYCLOPS) junction. There's a trade-off with the floating crossings, but this is a good way to manage the three modes. #JunctionDesign #SustainableMobility

🗺️ NEW MAP MEN VIDEO!!!!!! 🗺️ Have you ever wondered why Britain has twin towns? Or which two are the silliest? Share and enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zte_...

youtu.be/SML5Wxw8U54 I try and avoid doing the predictable memes and ask instead can it be made to look and function a bit more neatly?

Kerb Nerds assemble A Dutch entrance kerb* spotted in the wild @rideleicester.bsky.social @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social @hardhatalex.bsky.social *I hope it is

Guerilla 20 mph signs have appeared on a road local to me. People are getting fed up with dangerous roads and want a simple intervention that is proven to improve road safety.

Good service on all Limes. 🫡

Stories like these are why we need to end pavement parking. Add your street of shame to our map of pavement parking hotspots 🗺️ act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/176767/... shorturl.at/zDRfm

I feel a lot of the time anti-bird measures are more unsightly and problematic than just having birds rest on things.

Hive mind: can anyone give me some examples of an installed DIAGONAL zebra/parallel crossing? UK only. Thanks 🙏

Very excieted to have started my career with @pja-betterplaces.bsky.social today as a Graduate Consultant. I look forward to working with the transport team in a number of different ways and on a variety of projects.

A nice blue-bordered survivor spotted while holidaying in Ceredigion a few weeks ago.

Unusual way of adding a yellow backing board. Reminds me of old railway semaphore signals that needed to be more conspicuous.

20mph in Wales has been an overwhelming success. A deep dive into the data and outcomes.

We shouldn’t have to escape the city for a daily dose of nature, no matter how short or small. By challenging the privilege of the car on our streets, we create new opportunities for re-greening them; thus boosting our physical, mental, and social well-being. Strand Aldwych, London. 2021 vs. 2025.

World Nature Conservation Day is a day to recognise the need for a clean and healthy environment. Air quality, physical and mental health, and local ecosystems can all be improved with more street trees. Days like today are vital for helping to spread our regreening message - will you help us?

This has over 268k signatures now, and the more, the merrier! If you're in the UK and haven't signed this, please do so! There are two days until a debate date is set, and the weight of numbers is important. The damage this and the payment processor puritanism are doing is substantial.

The evidence on the wide benefits of 30kmh and 20mph limits keeps on coming. Denying the evidence is callous and so detrimental to community health and well-being in city, town or village where 30kmh/20mph should be default. bit.ly/3GuRur4

Overgrown hedge obscuring an important sign 👎 Overgrown hedge full of cherry plums 👍

Was great to experience Prague and its trams last week. A fantastic (but not perfect) transport system. Had my first ride on a trolleybus too.

After hard work in difficult times, I was proud to graduate from the University of Southampton this week, receiving the degree of master of engineering with first class honours in civil engineering. My career with @pja-betterplaces.bsky.social starts in September!

*COUGHS LOUDLY*

Uneducated self-righteous arrogant idiot. More verges need to be dedicated wildflower sites, and more legal protections are needed due to vandalism like this. Make sure you apply for local verges to be protected in your area.

My controversial opinion today is that we should stop knowingly killing 30,000 people annually and sabotaging our economy to the tune of £27bn per year. And that we should listen to doctors when they tell us this. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Good to see Moray Council setting 20mph for urban/village roads. Another 95,000 people getting the benefits of 20mph limits for community roads. bit.ly/3FYuUH9
