Transport for LondonLondon Streets
There are often competing demands for road space, which include:
- People who want to drive, walk, cycle or use public transport
- Freight and essential service traffic
- Places for Londoners to live, work, shop and sustain local communities
Our role is to carefully balance those competing demands to provide a well-designed, sustainable and accessible road network, sympathetic with the particular characteristics of each street.
We encourage sustainable travel, promote safety and improve the urban environment by providing wider pavements, better pedestrian crossings and more facilities for cyclists.
