This is a must watch for anyone involved in policy making and/or design of roads, streets and the public realm. It explains the phenomenon of #motonormativity - a phrase coined by Professor Ian Walker of Swansea University to describe the unconscious bias we have towards driving and how it impacts on our approach to public policy and public realm design. It also features am excellent contribution from Lee Waters MS, the Welsh Minister for Transport who introduced the 20mph default speed limit in urban areas: "Lowering the speed, and the evidence is very very clear about this, reduces the number of deaths, reduces the number of casualties but also, critically changes the feel of a neighbourhood and allows more social interaction. So when there is less noise and less sense of danger people are more likely to go out and about. They are likely to talk to their neighbours, they are likely to allow their children play in their street. Their community feels different, and that then encourages and enables a different type of behaviour." https://lnkd.in/ev8PQMWh #PublicRealm #UrbanDesign #LiveableCities #CarDependency #TransportPlanning

#motornormativity also goes hand-in-hand with a #WindscreenView of traffic and road safety.

We live in a Carspiracy and don’t even know how biased our views get, once we include the car into our conversation. #motonormativity Have a look at this eye opening piece from GCN, collecting some insights from current city planning and psychology. Before we can start changing our #mobility behavior we need to accept that there is a problem and it’s needs to be understood by policy makers and city planners. Positive impact will come from changes to the infrastructure. “You’ve got to build it before the behavior comes.” Check out this short video 👇🏼

As someone who spends a lot of time advising on roads projects, this Play Sports Network video was an interesting watch. However, it should be of interest to everyone and is very topical as The Scottish Government is about to consult on potential reductions in speed limits on Scotland's roads. A couple of thoughts from me: 1) Despite transport policy at all levels favouring other modes of transport over private car use for some time, reaearch suggests there is still strong resistance to changes which make car use less convenient. Do we need a rethink on policy? Or just be stronger on applying and implementing policy? Or does the answer lie in wider policies (e.g. around placemaking)? 2) The 'Goodwin curve' shows that public opinion tends to ultimately become more supportive once people are familiar with road changes once implemented, despite increasing opposition prior to implementation. This isn't unique to roads changes and I wonder if political decision makers might be stronger if they were more familiar with the 'Goodwin curve'. https://lnkd.in/esX5qMFw #cmsplanning

Absolutely brilliant video from the GCN team and Simon Richardson. Reflects many of the urban design issues we try and change - large radius junctions, wide crossing distances, intimidating roads, car-first priority, street clutter in footways etc. 🚗 Our cities literally punish people who can't afford cars or want to be more physically active #secondclasscitizen ⛔, but there are so many simple tools at our disposal - Bollards for modal filters, rest-on-red traffic lights (this worked really well on North Street in Exeter), £2 bus fares, and Dutch entrance kerbs which are now sold by companies across the UK. Here's an image of one from Adam Tranter https://lnkd.in/eczHypUj. 🚶♀️ Next time you're out walking - Think about every junction you stop at, the friction added to your journey, how you need look over your shoulder to see if you'll get runover, and then compare this to the relative ease for the cars in the road next to you 👀 https://lnkd.in/e8XFQJnS 🌲 WSP in the UK, Martin Smith, Robert Lyness, Tim Arkell, Adrian Winstone, James O'Donnell.
