People I know who live in such a neighborhood say the disadvantages outweigh any advantages as time goes on.I feel your pain. I wonder how long it will takes the eejits at the council to apply and enforce Low Traffic Neighbourhoods?
Would you feel so happy if your road turned in to a rat run for motorists avoiding pot holes, or just looking to save a few secs on their journey?I have started driving through Weston to avoid them. It's a nice little detour that doesn't add anything to the journey time
There is no such thing as a ‘rat run’ - just roads which people are allowed to drive on.Would you feel so happy if your road turned in to a rat run for motorists avoiding pot holes, or just looking to save a few secs on their journey?
But isn't it thoughtful for traffic to stay on main roads so that residential areas can be safe for children to play out and people to enjoy more peaceful times? Residential roads shouldnt be diversion routes for traffic that should be on a main road just because they are there. That's why the council diverts traffic along roads of the same classification when setting up diversions.There is no such thing as a ‘rat run’ - just roads which people are allowed to drive on.
It would be thoughtful for residents not to park on pavements. Not only do they cause obstruction to road users, who are perfectly entitled to use public roads but way more importantly to pavement users (you know, adults, kids, the disabled etc etc) who need to use footpaths.But isn't it thoughtful for traffic to stay on main roads so that residential areas can be safe for children to play out and people to enjoy more peaceful times?

I suspect those who think all roads are equal live in cul de sacs and don't have their lives blighted by speeding and noisy traffic night and day.
I don't live in a cul-de-sac and, at times, there are drivers racing up and down the road. It's not something I can do anything about unfortunately. If I complained to the Police, I am sure I would just get laughed at.But isn't it thoughtful for traffic to stay on main roads so that residential areas can be safe for children to play out and people to enjoy more peaceful times?
