LTNS

LTNs are aimed at reducing traffic in residential streets, and improving access for pedestrians and cyclists with dedicated lanes, wider pavements and planters blocking off vehicle access.

In March, the Department for Transport published draft statutory guidance for councils which said LTNs could provide "some benefits" and stressed the importance of "engaging effectively with the whole community" over proposals.

He then speaks about the importance of "good LTNs" and says 20 mph speed limits help reduce road fatalities.

LTNs often use signs as well as physical obstacles like bollards or planters to prevent traffic being able to drive along a certain route.

The report also found that local authorities operating LTNs issue an average of 36,459 Penalty Charge Notices per scheme - with one scheme exceeding 170,000 fines.
