So what constitutes a Rat Runner? If you live in the district then are you a rat runner the instant you turn out of your own street? Of course not. Most streets lead to distributor streets. Thats how they were built and no-one buys a property without knowing that. The prices also reflect that and always have - right back to horse and cart days. So a speeding Cyclist on a racing machine with no mudguards or lights - but almost certainly with a camera riding well over 20 along a small residential road. Is that Rat Running as well? It's equally impossible to define. Am I a rat Runner when on my bike cutting through short streets and zig zagging to avoid gradients? Probably by these wild claims. Fact is the LTNs affected like most things, those least able and restricted and those with occupations that involve more than a laptop and a satchel. It affected the less well off and the pontificating well heeled cannot grasp that in the believe that clearly lesser folk to them don't have cars. |
