The French government has appointed a commission to look at how to prevent road violence, following the alleged murder of a cyclist in Paris by a driver leparisien.fr/societe/mort-d…

Oxford needs to be more publicly accessible. It should have spaces for young and old to sit, play and enjoy. Oxford is our treasured resource let’s make the most of it.

Massive win for EU - legally binding clean air standards ratcheted up across EU for 2030. Rollout of Low/Zero emission Zones, LTNs, School Streets & more strongly encouraged tools to get local authorities to within air quality limits by then. eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/2… @MayorofLondon @willnorman @LouHaigh @simonlightwood @activetraveleng

Super excited for this on 7th December in East Oxford. Shop local, come carolling! #Oxtweets

About 1,200 children are killed/injured by drivers within 500m of a school *every month* in the UK. Poor little Evan had a bright future ahead of him until a driver decided otherwise. Will drivers never tire of endangering/killing kids with their cars? #Echobox=1732110395" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">birminghammail.co.uk/news/showbiz-t…

Good to luck the campaigners in Tower Hamlets challenging Lutfur Rahman over scrapping three LTNs. @SaveBGstreets say the LTNs are vital to protect children in deprived areas from pollution and the risks of heavy traffic.

A decision by the mayor of Tower Hamlets to remove a low traffic neighbourhood scheme from the borough is due to be challenged in the High Court. bbc.in/3UZRWBK

Wear high visibility clothing at all times so you can be seen by drivers

The psychology of a car driver only counts the most direct cost (car parking). Which makes a strong case for per-journey and very visible road pricing to reduce congestion, the climate crisis, toxic pollution, and road deaths. @but_cyclists

I've just cycled from town down Cowley Road and then Marsh Road to the Marsh Harrier. Terrified by about 20 illegal speeding electric motorbikes. Zero enforcement. Vision zero from @OxfordshireCC will never work without enforcement. Where is @tvprp @matthew_barber ?

On Broad Street: “What other historic European city would use one of its most iconic streetscapes as a car park? Oxford did until we changed it.” “Change isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. Day-to-day pressures come and go. The vision does not.” oxfordclarion.uk/oxford-traffic…

“There are only a certain number of cars which can sensibly fit onto our roads at any one time” – @OxfordshireCC’s highways chief Andrew Gant talks exclusively to the Oxford Clarion about LTNs, traffic filters and safe routes to school oxfordclarion.uk/oxford-traffic…

@OxonCyclingNet No Right Turn from Newman Road onto Rose Hill. Simple, cheap, and much safer. Although we expect this particular local councillor @DavidHenwood2 would prefer a slightly less safe solution so as not to impose any change of habit on drivers.

Petition: Support a review of the unsafe crossing of the A4158 at Newman Road, Oxford chng.it/h8Rdtmgmph

@HolyBollards @AndrewGant3 @cycloxoxford @Charlie_Hicks_ Bus gate here. Only way to be sure.
