>You say not? So where do these cars go? Evaporate? Go home?I've answered this before Peter, I'll try again.I'll say, I think a general problem here is you're only thinking of yourself (a defining feature of the anti LTN campaigns), that YOU want to drive when and where you want regardless, or oblivious, of the consequences of you and others doing this all the time.Fair enough, but there are others that would love to not feel the need to drive everywhere (remember, don't just think about yourself) BUT roads are for cars and be damned anybody that wants to cycle somewhere in safety for instance.I saw this years ago in a documentary where a school, in Marlow I think, was aghast at the chaos leading to and outside it every day with kids in danger, when they asked parents to consider not driving the answer was they didn't feel their kids would be safe walking, so they drove them there, catch 22.Now the question is, how to make it so more of the parents feel OK letting their kids walk or cycle to school.Same for LTNs, residential streets are where private motor traffic comes from as that's where people live, so make the area safer for short trips for people NOT in cars, and there you go again, fewer car trips originating from the area, fewer cars being moved around, evaporation.
