More motornormativity at work. We should not be putting cables in conduits across footways. Come a cold wet dark night some won't bother with the faff. It'll just increase the territorialism of onstreet parking which is already pressured by too many cars www.brightonandhovenews.org/2026/05/15/p...

Given the level of subsidisation motoring commuters receive, this seems like very small beer.

Is my commute prettier than yours?

Oh. Dear. Me.

This is terrific. Having spent my entire teens in Stevenage, cycling everywhere, having my first (three) near-death experiences with motor vehicles, graduating to on-road cycling when the cycle paths were no longer adequate, and now living in Milton Keynes, I can really see how it all went wrong.

More than double British adults support a ban on pavement parking with a fine than oppose it. And that's just adults, no-one asked the children. Let's make it easier and safer for people in one of the few spaces that is meant to be safe for them. Let's reduce damage to pavements & costs of repairs.

We have three years before the next general election Now that they have won so many council seats, let’s hope Reform will be exposed for their hatred and incompetence before then

Why are (most) local politicians a complete liability when it comes to active travel? At least window cleaner Gary gets it.

Hole in pavement forces pedestrians into road, inconveniencing motorists. #motonormativity @apiln.bsky.social#motonormativity

Post your warning sign.

What I take from this is, for me, a new explicit criterion for 30 km/h: physical separation. Where that’s not possible, 30 km/h is essential.

Well that’s interesting. Courts can already order lifetime driving bans. I can’t recall ever seeing a report of one, though.

No drivers were involved in this latest skirmish in the war on motorists www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Headline aside 😂 this is useful. But what do they mean by: “Evidence on 20mph zones is mixed nationally”?

New @etsc.eu report says cycling not being made safe enough, fast enough across EU. What's needed? Report says more urban 20mph, more protected cycle lanes & safe junctions etc. Full report: www.etsc.eu/pinflash50 Ask your local council to build a proper safe cycle network today: lcc.org.uk/streets

One of the downsides of living in Wales is I can't get involved in this @livingstreets.bsky.social campaign to address pavement parking. But for those of you in England, perhaps take a look? act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/189938/...

New petition: "Require automatic headlights on vehicles to activate rear lights for safety" Deadline 16 October 2026, created by Cllr Mike Casbolt #NewPetition

A petition to get train services started on East West Rail between #Oxford and #MiltonKeynes The line is there, we're in a fuel crisis, but a labour dispute means no trains yet. The petition asks Government to get on with it. #BeatTheFuelCrisis petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

“To ask His Majesty's Government whether the 20 mile per hour speed limit in central London is primarily to (1) reduce accidents, or (2) raise revenue” Some people in positions of power and influence genuinely believe this tosh.🙄

"Even when drivers commit blatant breaches of the law, enforcement is patchy and inconsistent, thanks to roads policing having been cut to the bone. And every attempt to tighten the rules is met with cries of a 'war on motorists'. This narrative must end." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Cf Milton Keynes almost everywhere, where the cycleways are ‘shared use footpaths that allow cycling’, thus avoiding having to follow the guidelines for cycleways in LTN 1/20.

“if people are only doing short journeys at 20mph, exhausts are not being cleared properly, causing DPF issues” *Cough, cough.*

“Our roads aren’t just for motorists” Don’t get me wrong but isn’t the emphasis here rather wrong-headed? #motonormativity #walking #wheeling #cycling

“drivers are taking detours to avoid traffic”🧐

Here’s a good one for @roadcc.bsky.social and @showmeasign.online

We have reviewed the huge progress 20's Plenty have made in 2025 in this blog which looks at how 20mph limits are moving forwards as the accepted best practice for urban/village roads. And with the UK Gov Road Safety Strategy adopting a Safe System approach we expect even more adoption in 2026.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz9vep35q19o "While the work is ongoing, alternative pedestrian routes remain available, although they may be slightly less direct."🙄 What solutions present themselves when you prioritise pedestrians instead of motor vehicles?

The new Road Safety Strategy looks to reduce casualties by 65% by 2035. Wales reduced casualties on built-up roads by a huge 25% by implementing a default 20mph urban/village limit winning international road safety awards. Well done Wales for its leadership. www.20splenty.org/2026_for20sp...

See how that ‘could’ in the subheading becomes ‘to’ in the main heading?🫣

Did you have snow overnight/today? #UKSnow I’m researching public attitudes towards clearing Snow and Ice in the UK. Are you over the age of 18 and live in the UK? If so, you can take part in my research by clicking this link (details inside) app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/liverpool/...

Whether you look at the Welsh Nation, Scottish or English towns, cities and villages or in continental Europe, 20mph/30km/h limits reduce casualties, noise, stress and create healthier streets. Its time to set it as an urban/village default and only increase where evidentially justified.

Do both. And if solar parks are built near villages or towns, then offer the people who are potentially affected free electricity to offset their concerns. Solar panels are not nuclear power stations. They can be removed with little environmental impact and can actually benefit biodiversity.

I met someone for whom any time spent alone in her car, in or out of a queue, was ‘her’ time that she valued. Spending longer in the queue was more rewarding.

I dont know but this strikes me as pretty bonkers. What is mostly lacking at the moment is lighting on to the road surface. Shining light up from below increases the brightness requirement for downlighting. And the increased maintenance will be costly. highways-news.com/clearview-in...

This is hilarious anti-cyclist bollocks. Talk about parading your ignorance in public. It’s hard to know where to start (or stop). But how about “[cyclists] don’t need seat belts”?😂

Truth bomb 👇: Traffic lights exist for cars, not for people walking or cycling. Before cars, we didn’t need them. Only when intersections became controlled and no communication was necessary could high speeds exist without chaos. We traded human interaction for convenience for motorists and danger.
