Ms Hughes is talking about routes that involve a lot of freight vehicles and forcing freight to drive at 30 km/h. Ideally, active travel and so on are separated from freight. That was the whole purpose of the port tunnel and lots of other interventions. I was cycling yesterday and a fuel tanker came flying through Ranelagh at a speed that I would say was a lot faster than 30 km/h or 50 km/h. I was, if not shook, a bit wary that it was a much bigger vehicle than I am used to. There is an opportunity in that regard. The more places where TII can intervene to keep freight away from pedestrians, cyclists and even motorists, the better.
