Low-traffic neighbourhoods may lead people to drive less, data suggests

Residents in one London borough cut their driving by a mile a day after LTNs were introduced, study finds

Low-traffic neighbourhoods seemingly can prompt residents to drive less, with a study showing people in one London borough cut their driving by a mile a day on average after LTNs were introduced.

While the research only covers four LTNs created in 2020, it is nonetheless potentially significant because it contradicts the objection from opponents of the schemes that they make people drive further on less direct routes.
