London has also seen a huge influx of cycling infrastructure in response to the pandemic. Lambeth Council created the Railton Low Traffic Neighbourhood due to strain the pandemic put on the area’s transport network. Monitoring reports from the Low Traffic Neighbourhood, which limits which traffic can enter the area, show the changes seem to be making a difference. Figures from March show overall car journeys in Railton Road dropped by more than 75 per cent, with bike journeys increasing by a similar percentage. Across the whole of the Low Traffic Neighbourhood, car journeys decreased 58 per cent, HGV journeys 48 per cent and bike journeys increased 51 per cent.
