Positive and Technical is a 326 page 60mb document containing some of my favourite active-travel iinfrastructure photo tweets from the past 10 years. Some big moments are chronicled for those who care about that sort of thing. drive.google.com/file/d/14UmzNS…

People-friendly streets make for prosperous societies 🏢👨‍🦼🌳🚶‍♀️🏪 We speak with businesses in Sheffield to see how the city’s pedestrianisation projects are creating places that locals want to spend time and money in 👇

85% of people in England support active travel and would like to do more. Today, we’ve released new guidance for councils to help them design more school streets, which make walking and cycling to school safer and more enjoyable for all 👩‍🦽🚲🚶‍♂️ Learn more: gov.uk/government/new…

@dressrdelivery @YorkCycle @Bradford_TandA @WestYorkshireCA @WorthVllyChamp @activetraveleng We may not reply but we do discuss things with the relevant authority. Wouldn't be right of us to discuss scheme designs without the designers involvement.

@YorkCycle @Bradford_TandA @WestYorkshireCA @WorthVllyChamp @activetraveleng @bricycle Not sure, they never reply 😂 you can guess why!

£13m bridge next to a roundabout. Why not install a cyclops instead? @Bradford_TandA @WestYorkshireCA @WorthVllyChamp

@Clivedurdle On it with that one.

What an incredible turnout!💚 With over 300 registrations and a fantastic line-up of global speakers, we discussed the essential role of walking and cycling in addressing climate change, health and equity challenges. Watch the symposium's recording here👇youtu.be/S-iDKnBwc_0?si…

@Clivedurdle Yes we routinely look at footway quality.

@RantyHighwayman I like to think of them as clogged active travel arteries.

Graph of the day from this doc, which IMO is well worth a read. Interesting to see methodology of outliers on traffic incidents and air pollution. PA benefits are obvious slam dunk for AT. itf-oecd.org/improving-qual…

@ShamrockSoup Here's one in Kingston. That one was in the Netherlands. New Malden Path.

@bricycle Ooh. Where's this? Would love to see proper quality segregated cycle path along Thames between Kingston and Richmond. Bat friendly lighting would be needed.

Bat friendly lighting in a bollard. Why? Just because I love them.

@carltonreid Nicest guy in the business and total legend.

"Vast majority of people drive to Trust properties," says National Trust Cyclist Welcome manager Zsolt Schuller, whose job is change that. 4 min 20 sec video: youtube.com/watch?v=C-E7qm…

@LeicsCountyBike Sounds good. Let me look into it.

@bricycle Any money anywhere to take some our our local authorities to see best practice in The NL? It can be done fairly cheaply on Eurostar to Amsterdam/Utrecht for a couple of days.

When they talk about this country as being a walking and cycling paradise, they ain't kiddin. Cycle path, footpath, greening, and windmills. ❤️ 🇳🇱 back to blighty now to build more of this 🚶‍♀️♿️ 🚲🇬🇧

@CardiffSpinster Not that great to be honest.

@bricycle I like the permeable surface. Is it good to use?

Bikes are guests. Pedestrian priority path.

@CameronCMurray 10 days max to sort it.

@bricycle I’m over there in a week’s time. Can you have it all sorted by the time I get back? 😉 (I’m genuinely dreading coming back)

@RantyHighwayman It's a bit more of a standard deal in rural areas. Even with big flows. Agree about the network approach in cities and towns though.

After two weeks checking out rural 🇳🇱 I have become a fan of no centre line and advisory cycle lanes in a 2m 3m 2m layout. Pic shows a centre line being removed to accommodate this slow passing and overtaking arrangement. It is not ideal but cheap and effective in remote places.

@Microlambert Looks good to go to about 2k but seen it on 4k a day roads and more here.

@bricycle Like this a lot. (Even better if the cycle lanes are red.) Any idea what the maximum daily traffic volume would be to make it work?

@carlashton7 Ooh that's a good one. I might chase you about stats on that.

@bricycle We have a road exactly like this in Suffolk. It was put in around 20 years ago and we think it might have been the first one of its kind in the UK maps.app.goo.gl/DrLxtaBaG4ogoe…
