Evaluation of low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) impacts on NO2 and traffic

Xiuleng Yang et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impacts of three Low traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) in Islington, London on air pollution and traffic flows. The results showed that LTNs have the potential to substantially reduce air pollution and traffic in target areas, without increasing pollution or traffic volumes in surrounding streets.

Evaluation of air quality effects of the London ultra-low emission zone by state-space modelling

Hajar Hajmohammadi et al.

Summary: This study develops a model to assess the effects of the ultra-low emission zone policy on air quality in London. The results show that the policy has successfully reduced pollutant concentrations throughout the city, not just within the zone of implementation.

Exploring traffic evaporation: Findings from tactical urbanism interventions in Barcelona

Samuel Nello-Deakin

Summary: This paper explores the levels of traffic evaporation following tactical urbanism interventions in Barcelona during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings suggest that road space reduction leads to a significant decrease in traffic volume, supporting the street redesign policies that prioritize non-motorized transportation modes.

Equity in temporary street closures: The case of London's Covid-19 'School Streets' schemes

Asa Thomas et al.

Summary: This paper examines the equity of School Streets closures in London by considering their impact on social and environmental indicators. The study finds that the distribution of School Streets closures is highly unequal and that schools in car-dominated areas with poor air quality are less likely to benefit from these closures. The findings highlight the importance of implementing complementary policies to improve air quality in disadvantaged schools and accelerating the implementation of School Streets in slower districts.

Equity in new active travel infrastructure: A spatial analysis of London's new Low Traffic Neighbourhoods

Rachel Aldred et al.

Summary: This article examines the equity of new active travel infrastructure in London, focusing on Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs). The study found that LTNs are mainly implemented in affluent areas but overall distribution among London residents is relatively fair. Residents in more deprived areas are more likely to live in an LTN, as well as ethnic minorities and car-free households. However, implementation varies across districts, with some not implementing LTNs at all.

Major investment in active travel in Outer London: Impacts on travel behaviour, physical activity, and health

Rachel Aldred et al.

Summary: This study analyzed three years' data from the People and Places longitudinal study on the impacts of active travel infrastructure investments in three Outer London boroughs. The results showed living close to the interventions was associated with increased active travel, with the majority of the increase being in walking. Ambitious interventions can result in substantial health economic benefits from changes in active travel, including early uptake of walking and cycling.
