1a Strongly support, it is critical that all development is designed “to avoid and/or reduce the need to travel by car and incorporate measures…… that decrease traffic speeds and flows.
1b Strongly support,
1c This needs to be stronger than promoting active travel. Active travel infrastructure must not just be incorporated, but must be the core of the access within the development and between the development and places people need to access, especially bus stops and railway stations. The active travel routes must be direct, and we must understand by coherent, that these must be continuous, because as soon as an active travel route is interrupted by a road people, especially parents consider them not safe which increases car use. The design must be for the motor vehicle to give way before crossing the active travel route not the other way around.
1d Strongly support
1e Must be strengthened to say “Provide safe access to the highway for all users with Hierarchy of Road User built into the design, retrospectively if necessary”
