I agree. There is no reason not to go in the same direction. As I said earlier, it creates a requirement for safe spaces. We can look at all options, in terms of trials or other mechanisms, but we are well placed to make that leap. The target in the plan, which is for a 50% increase in active travel, will, in hindsight and in history, be seen as under-ambitious. Once we start to get the numbers going in this direction, it becomes a virtuous circle where everyone feels it is safer and more the norm.
