It's official: LTNs are not controversial in Oxford. Can we now please stop talking about this as if it's something that "divides" the community?

Circulation plan for Leuven, Belgium (pop. ~100k). Cars can’t drive directly between the coloured zones. Purple zones are car free, with some exceptions for deliveries, residents and people with disabilities. One year after introduction, cycling was up 32% and bus use up 12%.

Having a whale of a time here on Mastodon 🐘! Found so many interesting people already.

If folks are interested, I'll be posting on stuff that's happening at GitHub. Cool things are shipping next week at GitHub Universe 🚀

And I'll definitely engage on anything to do with sustainable transport and liveable cities — especially Oxford 🇬🇧
