@Spindrift_UK @SouthamptonCC @scchighways @SotonStreets This sign signifies the design doesn't work, otherwise a sign wouldn't be needed. SCC need to look at Coventry, as per below. An excellent and clear design. Whereas SCC have already erected yellow signs at one crossing and warning signs at another (also pictured). Rubbish design.

The Mayor has consistently ignored vital input from schools.

@Spindrift_UK @SotonCycling @SotonStreets @SouthamptonCC @scchighways More rain gardens needed. Helping combat flooding, provide greenery, improve public space, stop illegal and antisocial parking etc. No reasons not to install them.

Roads aren't the only way to move around in a city and region on the water.
Good news here, let's hope that this isn't just about keeping what we already have and is actually the first step in a newly growing network of water based links...

Helsinki planners have modelled what happens when pedestrians are prioritised, rather than forced to wait ages to cross.
They found that a 5% improvement in the walking environment leads to a 2.3% increase in public transport use and €8.5 million increase in fares.
So, how? 🧵

Lots of stuff on twitter about needing 20mph "only round schools", but children need 20mph on their whole route walking or cycling to school. At any time there are far more children outside "outside school" than than "outside school". Its why 20mph is best for communities.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

@NSR500_V4 @50bikecop @BritishHorse @theJeremyVine Can we look at this and understand it through a little maths and compassion. When on the road people on bikes are well aware of their vulnerability, you are basically a small squishy lump trying to hold your own in amongst a herd of 2 ton Daleks who are only there by licence

Keep an eye out for more people cycling this summer 🚲
Don't forget to leave at least 1.5 metres of space when overtaking them and to give more space at higher speeds!

Imagine if at the start of every news bulletin they announced how many deaths and injuries there'd been on the country's roads the previous day.

Today people in Birmingham came together to say "Enough is Enough". Four people have been killed on our roads in the last month, two of whom have been children. Last week a child and their older sibling were run over on their way to school. @for_birmingham is demanding action

Time for a jungle stroll in the city of #Southampton!
Take the greenway through the Polygon to avoid heat or rain and to reset amongst the urban stress.

"Pavement parking is basically me ending up in the middle of the road." 💬
Vehicles parked on pavements can make everyday journeys challenging and even dangerous for many people.
It's time for change. We're calling for a ban on #PavementParking across the UK 👇
