This is good but a diversion route for cyclists would be good during construction

Wonderful launch of the new West London Regional Park.

Spanning Ealing & Hounslow the new park will improve access to nature for 2 million Londoners - with the River Brent & a 13km walking trail forming its spine.

In 2025, there were 1.5m daily cycle journeys in London,
equivalent to nearly half of daily Tube journeys.

Evidence shows that London-wide, cycling infrastructure is effective in
reducing risk exposure:
οƒ˜ Protected cycling infrastructure reduces injury risk to people
cycling by 40-65%.
οƒ˜ Around 33% of all cycling in London occurs on Cycleways, but
only 15% of cycle casualties.
οƒ˜ 76% of people cycling feel safe on Cycleways compared to 40%
feeling safe on other roads.
οƒ˜ 70% of Cycleway users felt safer after the introduction of the
Cycleway.

Road safety factors are more likely to be attributed to the driver of (recorded in 2024)
the other vehicle than people cycling, with three of top five
factors relating to behaviour of other drivers.
β€’ People cycling undertaking an illegal turn and/or not complying
with traffic lights is a factor in only 3.7% of all collisions resulting
in a cycling fatal or serious injury (same prevalence as drivers
undertaking illegal turns and/or not complying with traffic lights).

A 2023 analysis showed that in the 2016-22
period, we saw a greater reduction in risk in
boroughs where the Cycleway network expanded
the most. Conversely, risk increased most in
boroughs with no or limited investment in
Cycleways.

Vehicle fuel economy and vehicle miles traveled: An empirical investigation of Jevon’s Paradox There has been, in recent decades, a concerted effort to promote energy efficiency as a means to reduce energy consumption. The general thesis is that…

STUDY: Despite conventional wisdom that increases in vehicle fuel efficiency results in decreased gasoline consumption, Jevons’ Paradox holds. For every 1 mile per gallon of increased fuel efficiency there’s an associated 1.2 mile increase in vehicle miles travelled.

Better cars = higher emissions.

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

β€œHelsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Traffic light pedestrian crossing.

Traffic light pedestrian crossing.

The traffic light pedestrian crossing on the Outer Circle of Regent's Park, near the zoo and running track has been installed. Like the one at the other end of the zoo, the delay time and repeat frequency is very good for pedestrians.
