| This definition seems to suggest that buses and services are still allowed:- https://www.livingstreets.org.uk/media/3843/lcc021-low-traffic-neighbourhoods-intro-v8.pdf " ... Places where through motor vehicle traffic has been removed or reduced – so only residents and a few deliveries and services have access – are great for everyone. " " HOW TO MAKE A LOW TRAFFIC NEIGHBOURHOOD There are lots of ways to get a low traffic neighbourhood, but the best is arguably using “modal filters” that stop motor traffic driving beyond a certain point, placed at strategic points around the neighbourhood. “Modal filters” can be bollards or gate road closures that don’t let any motor traffic through; or “bus gates” to let some public transport through; or even width restrictions to just keep the biggest vehicles out. " Do you have a reference for an LTN that says that buses and service vehicles are completely banned? " Could it possibly be 7-8 tons (empty) travelling at 20mph plus doesnt go very well with light predestrians and cyclists when a collision occurs? " OK, so make the buses do 10mph through the LTN itself, that's considerably better in terms of kinetic energy and outcome from collisions. |
