A possible, progressive solution to the issues around Lionel Road, and the road closures elsewhere in the borough is already in place in east London. Since September 2018 a number of 'rat run' roads have been re-purposed for electric and zero/low-emission vehicles only. It's early days but it seems to be way of avoiding additional congestion on main arteries, reducing pollution in the 'rat runs' significantly and encouraging a greener approach in the long run. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/londons-first-ultralow-emissions-streets-everything-you-need-to-know-as-petrol-and-diesel-cars-are-a3923856.html |
