TfL's annual progress report revealed that it had set aside funding 'for the development of more than 30 more potential LTN schemes'. It added that LTNs 'remain a key part of the Healthy Streets approach and we continue to support boroughs' implementation of schemes with both funding and technical support.
Research published last year by TfL found LTNs introduced since 2020 had 74 percent less traffic and 50 percent fewer road casualties. The new LTNs are all part of London Mayor Sadiq Khan's clean transport strategy.
While LTNs make some roads traffic-free, improving air quality and pedestrian safety, in some cases, they cause increases in traffic elsewhere. A newly implemented LTN in West Dulwich found that numbers of vehicles on its boundary, the South Circular Road, could double from 100 to 200 an hour.
