It's good stuff - the Government gets it, now why can't they get Councils (highways and planning departments) and developers to actually deliver these important road safety fixes?
'Critical safety issues for walking, wheeling and cycling'
'The recommendation to focus on identifying and removing critical issues was introduced nationally in Local Transport Note 1/20 for cycling and regionally through approaches such as London’s Healthy Streets check and Greater Manchester’s Streets for All check.'
UK's Department for Transport #DfT thinks England needs a database of #ActiveTravel & #CyclingInfrastructure, to know what exists where, whether it complies with standards such as #LTN120, what's being built where etc.
"Active travel geospatial report " (2022) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/walking-and-cycling-statistics-notes-and-definitions with PDF https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1101004/active-travel-discovery-report.pdf
Possible platforms include #OpenStreetMap, #ArcGIS, #OrdnanceSurvey etc.
Overall, paper asks lots of questions, offers options, doesn't make specific recommendations.
