It's a long term plan. Some routes (Abingdon) are near done. Some (A44, A40) are not green, already there, but need improvement. Others (Eynsham, Culham) have plans that mostly require funding. The programme aims to catalyse opportunities from cenral and local sources.

This, however, is misrepresented by a few in the 'motoring lobby' as an assault on their rights, which they apparently want to be total domination of all routes by motor vehicles that kill 1500 people a year, and maim thousands, leading people to adopt unhealthy choices.

Who are Oxfordshire's Quiet Lanes for? They are to make vulnerable road users, like children, safer from harm by motorists. They enhance ability to get places by walking and cycling, but don't stop anyone getting anywhere by driving.

A clip from a local newspaper annotated to show that quiet lanes are to make children safer, not to make grumpy motorists happy.

As petrol and diesel prices continue to rise, now is a good time to look at options that are cheaper, healthier and more enjoyable.

It's a joy to drive in Wales now. England should follow suit.

The results show that plenty of manufacturers can produce desirable, affordable electric cars in volume (and if you haven't tried one, you should). A few lagging manufacturers want targets postponed, but the more advanced manufacturers are already delivering to future targets.

@cohsat.bsky.socialSep 4, 2026, 11:42 AM

While the ZEV mandate for 2026 is 33%, allowances for lowering emissions make the effective target 25% so manufacturers are well ahead of target and credits will be plentiful and cheap for the laggards.

Latest data from @newautomotive.org shows that EVs were 30% of the UK new car market in August, continuing their rise and more than (pure) petrol+diesel sales for a second month. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids are also gaining share.

Car and van drivers have benefited most from the 20mph speed limits on most urban roads in Wales, with a 30% reduction in casualties.
Other road users benefited from casualty reductions too...

There's nothing stupid about a sign that has a clear meaning.

@cohsat.bsky.socialSep 2, 2026, 4:16 PM

Road users are expected to obey the rules of the road and all you are doing is sticking up for incompetence, criminality and people who cause injury. You should be ashamed and embarrassed.

@cohsat.bsky.socialSep 2, 2026, 4:16 PM

What complete tosh. There are lots of roads that are intended for motor vehicles that have restriction signs on them. Every one way street for example will have a No Entry sign at one end. Pedestrianised shopping streets will have restriction signs, with exceptions for deliveries.

@cohsat.bsky.socialSep 2, 2026, 12:09 PM

Previous studies of 30kmh and 20mph speed limits have shown reduction in injuries of 20-72% and reduction in fatalities of 23-63%, with reductions in emissions and noise as well.
