www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Rather a lot of both-siding again here. 6,500 angry cargams signing a petition about scrapping 20 limits is hardly massive opposition is it? "Controversial" is such a misused word.

Why are more towns and cities moving to 20mph?
Many councils are turning to 20mph limits, but questions remain over the benefits across the UK.

Most people wouldn't notice but the right hand lane drop sign is outright wrong (wickets were replaced in 2002 for permanent lane drops) whereas the correct curved arrow signs don't usually appear in roadworks - it's rare to see narrow lanes operate around a permanent lane drop!
3 into 2 lane drop signs using correct curved arrow for a permanent arrangement despite being within TTM.Replaced 2 into 1 lane drop signs done like for like despite being a permanent arrangement.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Might be worth pointing out that the likes of Danny Tommo would have been, in 1985, ripping up benches and lobbing them at opposing fans. Our far right are mostly football thugs that needed a new hobby after the game started trying to clean house. Keep football dry.

Another ATEMAP thing... if you know the story of Eleanor Horner, why did her frankly quite simple request for a safe route to school take that many years to deliver? We really need to ask why govt policy barriers to making streets safer exist. A ped crossing should be cheap and quick to provide.

More ATEMAP stuff this afternoon. A lot of this is not really "new" stuff for me, but it is very good to see people on board with the basic principle: People. Make. Places. We have, for too long, worried more about what to do for metal boxes and not what to do for the occupants. 1/

Some real venom for the Middleton inner ring road at ATEMAP this morning. It is absolutely true... this has always been a hideous piece of "design". Trief kerbs, huge roundabouts, everything screams "please don't linger here".

En route to ATEMAP, this train sums up exactly why I start work at 10am, not 9! Painting cattle sheds yellow isn't going to solve the NW megalopolis still running 2 car services at rush hour between urban areas exceeding 100k population to reach Manchester. This is why people sit in traffic. 1/

Another classic in the genre of NH wrote active travel chapters to tick a box when in reality they don't give a toss. When they inevitably screw up big time again it'll be another rebrand and another bunch of self congratulatory glossy brochures and the DfT will keep falling for it.

One of the rare Ws from National Highways here - removing an extremely annoying 5 into 4 then back into 5 bottleneck to be 5 lanes throughout is a simple safety improvement. Why this section wasn't done this way to begin with is a mystery... Here's my equivalent of Streetview.
2017 view of the J44 1/2 mile gantry. This was originally J45 hence the weird number panel - when the motorway was extended north they failed to replace the outdated A1 reference.

A64 Leeds, York | The NORTH, Wetherby A1.By 2023 the gantry sign was looking very degraded. The central reservation lighting had also been converted to LED.March 2026 and the incorrect A1 reference has finally been corrected. The hard shoulder is being strengthened to continue the 5th lane.

The central reservation has a new concrete barrier and lighting.The new 5 lane layout in situ, awaiting the installation of the overhead signals but otherwise complete.

How having a disability became cool
Young women, nicknamed ‘sickfluencers’, are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

Young women are also more likely to get caught up in “social contagion” – the spontaneous spread of behaviours or emotions previously observed by sociologists in “outbreaks” of bulimia, self-harm and transgender ideology. What may have otherwise been transitory feelings are seized upon and obsessed over until they form a central pillar of a person’s identity. A chronic-illness influencer won’t want to get “better” any more than a female-bodied transgender person would want to re-identify with their sex.

While I think any kind of pushback against the whole "Don't allow trans women to register as women in ParkRun" is good, I think it should be less "It's not even a competitive race" and more "No, fuck off, you mad bastards". Whether it's competitive or not isn't the point.

I've just literally designed two bus stop bypasses that I've been at great pains to try and not screw over pedestrians. People forget the road user heirarchy places cyclists below pedestrians; arguing that you have to slow down for the greater good is just as entitled as drivers saying the same.

I have had very lukewarm support for Andy Burnham - his immediate crumpling against opposition to the GMCAZ was a big warning sign that he'd find standing up to the usual right-wing tossers very difficult. Labour needs to stop doing Govt by Daily Mail. The right-wing HATE you regardless.
