Around 70% of Londoners want more Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) and 60% agree that all roads across the city should have a 20mph speed limit, according to a new survey.
In the latest Cyclomedia Urban Road Safety Index, London came top out of all 32 cities when residents were asked if authorities do enough to improve road safety in their city, with 72% agreeing that they do.
However, just over half of the 1,000 respondents (51%) said that road safety is getting worse because London is not equipped for new forms of urban transportation, such as e-bikes, e-scooters, and cargo bikes.
Most of the capital’s residents (76%) also believe that e-bikes should be taxed, insured and have a number plate like mopeds, and nearly nine in 10 (88%) also felt that cycle lanes should be compulsory when one is available.
