I'm trying really hard to take the U.K. government's urgent review of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods seriously. I really am.

But having watched the U.K. government lose every fight they've ever gotten into, I can't help but smile at the idea of them going to war with some bollards in the street. And, Also, losing.

@ProjectFearlessness The odds are stacked against them winnings a fight against bollards.

They are going to lose against the bollards, but as a distraction from their complete failure on all other green policies it buys them some time. Maybe all of the 10 minutes it takes to check and find that all the reviews of LTNs done so far have been overwhelmingly positive.

@ProjectFearlessness It’s been so transformative on my street. I remember during the pandemic, a few gammon jamboree marches from some outraged residients.
But now, I can’t think of a single person I know who thinks it hasn’t worked. The cycle lanes are also game changing.

@blabberlicious Yes, your review of LTNs is the same as almost everybody else. Personally as a cyclist I love them, I feel a sense of relief that there are at least a few streets I can ride down without worrying about motorists trying to kill me.
