"Campaigners criticized the Silvertown Tunnel's lack of bike lanes, with 1,000 cyclists protesting for road safety, emphasizing the inadequacy of only having a shuttle service for cyclists."
"Local residents believe the tunnel will lead to increased noise and pollution as motorists seek alternative routes to evade the toll fee, causing environmental concerns."
In a recent protest against the newly opened Silvertown Tunnel, around 1,000 cyclists demanded better road safety provisions, particularly criticizing the tunnel's lack of a bike lane. The demonstration, organized by Critical Mass London, highlighted frustrations with the reliance on a shuttle service for cyclists. Critics claim the tunnel, which opened in February and costs car drivers up to £4, will worsen local environmental conditions by increasing traffic noise and pollution. Safety statistics indicate a worrying rise in road fatalities, with campaigners urging for more sustainable transport solutions in the area.
