London could get more than 30 new LTNs after TfL funding
More than 30 new low traffic neighbourhoods could be implemented in London as LTNs remain a “key part” to improve public health by encouraging active travel
Despite this, majority of the discussion and coverage in the media surrounding LTNs has continued with negative connotations, focusing on teething issues, or dissent from what active travel campaigners have dubbed as the “vocal minority”, although there have been reports and studies pointing out increases in traffic congestion on main and boundary roads.

However, TfL said that that the scheme could see an increase in the number of vehicles on the boundary road – the South Circular Road – by 100 to 200 an hour, and asked the council to ensure buses are not delayed on other nearby main roads as a result of the LTN.
TfL allocated £86.6m to the boroughs in 2023/24 for schemes, such as LTNs, pedestrian crossings, 20mph speed limits and more cycle and bus lanes. > Air quality improved both inside and on boundary roads of low traffic neighbourhoods, but Labour MP claims more LTNs will worsen congestion If you don’t want to subscribe, please turn your ad blocker off.
