Too right.<br /><br />But I think we need to shift the emphasis to looking at the car/bus/bike/foot _networks_ that are available for a given set of journeys (eg within a city or suburb). Too often we are looking at schemes in isolation, which fail to alter the overall network, and thus have little/no effect. It's far too easy to leave out the difficult bits, when in fact a partial solution in the difficult locations is probably far more effective than gold-plated solutions in easy locations.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511237689209611170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1437462086892225365.post-54998080978339640072013-02-17T04:58:17.788-08:002013-02-17T04:58:17.788-08:00Ah, nice to see that you have a blog Adrian!

The only thing is, your opening gambit about segregation is a bit of a straw man argument, as those who promote such infrastructure have a very sophisticated understanding of the required 'hierarchy' and what is appropriate in given situations, even if they disagree with the DfT's own hierarchy of provision. Looking forward to reading more of your stuff anyway.philiployhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033830550223436863noreply@blogger.com
