We welcome the emphasis on the provision of quality infrastructure and we support the intention to develop a network of on- and off-road cycle routes but we would expect to see a re-statement of the prioritisation of cycling over motor vehicles. There should be a consideration of closing roads to vehicular traffic in favour of exclusive use by sustainable active travel modes. On the creation of LTNs, it should commit to the use of such provisions ‘wherever possible’ to create a network of LTNs. Section E on highways suggests improvements to junctions and roads in the name of ‘efficiency’: ‘efficiency’ must be for ALL road users and highways developments should be subject to the continued prioritisation of cycling over motor vehicle traffic.
