SEVEN.. Reducing, managing and taming traffic

Conclusion

Traffic calming and reduction is essential if we are to encourage cycle usage in the future. Speed limits and traffic calming measures need to be designed properly in a way which creates a safer and more convenient cycle network. Wide cycle lanes are one way to make space on the roads for cyclists whilst at the same time reducing speeds.

The Campaign would like to see...

The reduction of traffic as a means of encouraging cycling
The introduction of area-wide 20 mph zones in Cambridge
Traffic calming measures taking full account of cyclists
Total reworking of King’s Hedges Road and other areas like Harston, to become a haven for cyclists rather than a death-trap
The removal of traffic calming measures which create extra danger or unpleasantness for cyclists
The use of speed cameras to enforce speed limits
