what i think we need is a gradual approach to reducing mpv dependency. and yes through a range of measures but yes definitely to include community safety - 20 mph.
but also adjusting taxes for example. maybe reducing income tax and increasing pollution taxes. and rewarding those who make the shift by cutting their overall tax burden.
sure blue quinn we need to get creative and use loads of tools to change behaviour. and city planning is just one tool.
it can be done and i think it will have to be done. but possibly due to scarce resources (fossil fuels running out) more than global warming or community safety.
