2010: The 10 Year Plan - Extracts
6.46 For most
towns and cities a co-ordinated package of new measures will be
needed. In many cases packages of quite small schemes and projects
can secure large benefits for local people. Bus priority schemes,
traffic management measures such as Home Zones and traffic calming,
parking strategies, and new walking and cycling routes can individually
or collectively improve transport choices and make a significant
difference to the quality of the local environment.
6.54 [Box under
heading 'Walking and cycling'] … So we will be looking to authorities
to create more traffic-calmed 20mph zones, particularly around schools
and in residential areas, where most child accidents occur. We are
also evaluating a number of 'Home Zones' - residential areas treated
with traffic-calming and other measures, which aim to improve residents'
quality of life and improve safety.
