Labour drops plans to restrict LTNs in ‘secret war on motorists’ Ministers quiety ditch reforms that would have constrained local councils’ powers

Is reducing road danger a ‘war on motorists’?
LTNs cut injuries by 35% in London.
Most VRU deaths involve cars, not bikes or pedestrians.
Evidence matters.

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan There is too much bluff and bluster on this subject. Ordinary people just want safe streets for themselves and those they love, and we can achieve that, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

🚸 New TfL data: 20 mph limits cut deaths/serious injuries by 34%, incl. 75% drop in child fatalities. Wales saw ~100 fewer KSI in year one. Evidence is clear—lower speeds save lives. Govt strategy must act. #RoadSafety #20mph #SafeStreets #VisionZero www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We were pleased to join #Traffex2025 where PACTS opened both days of the Safety & Sustainability Theatre. Great to hear from Jamie Hassall, Margaret Winchcomb & Minister Lilian Greenwood on the future of road safety and micromobility. #RoadSafety #PACTS

Great to hear Jamie Hassall @pactsuk.bsky.social at Traffex today calling for a Harm Reduction Strategy (not a Road Safety ....). Fresh thinking, more likely to cause the shift we need.

This Global Road Safety Week, we’re reminded that progress takes action. As we enter the second UN Decade of Action, real change needs leadership, innovation & responsibility.
