ABD
London is consulting on a set of updated policies. There is a one page
easy read summary
and a more detailed
set of policies (nine pages).
Any
feedback on these drafts and further suggestions would be appreciated,
please. Contact details below.

The
proposals support the following principles
·
Facilitating liberty, not restricting it
·
Facilitating the economy and productivity of individuals ..... so traffic management policies
should aim to make the traffic flow and measures that jam it up should be
discouraged
·
The primary purpose of the road should be to
maximise the throughput of vehicle traffic and passengers
·
Pedestrians belong on the pavement. Dividing up the
roads to create exclusive space for a minority of users is both unfair
and inefficient
·
Where traffic has negative features such as noise
and pollution, policy objectives should be focused on encouraging new
technologies to overcome the negatives not on reducing the traffic
because doing the latter also removes the benefits
·
Developing policies and sanctions should be based
on evidence not dogma
·
Prematurely scrapping perfectly good ICE (internal
combustion engine) vehicles is not environmentally friendly.
