I really hope we do not. We seem to have learned quite a bit and people have adapted. There have been improvements in cycling infrastructure that have been rolled out very quickly, which is really positive. We could highlight to drivers how, when they park on a footpath, other road users are affected. These include people in wheelchairs and those using buggies. Some of the footpaths are very narrow in our towns but people think it is right to park on a footpath to leave the road clear. We need to flip it to show the impact on pedestrians.
