The Experimental Traffic Orders emanated from the Tory Minister of Transport Grant Shapps.  Traffic was feared and expected to increase to greater than before after lockdown ended. It was a way to put something into place quickly to allow space for and make safer and encourage more cycling and walking and consult on the trials during the six months of the trials to see the results. 

Many families took up cycling and walking during lockdown.  The reason for many not cycling regularly is that the roads do not feel safe - particularly for new cyclists. Cycling is possible all year round - other countries just laugh at us and our 'the wrong leaves on the line' and inability to travel as soon as there is a sprinkling of snow.  Cycles don't only have to have two wheels. There isn't room for everybody to have a car and they cause a lot more pollution than walking or cycling.  Then there is the amount of CO2 traffic creates and the fact that we are in a climate emergency.  10 bicycles can park in the space of one car.  Too many cars and they drive over pavements damaging them and making them dangerous for pedestrians.

Apparently there was some sort of glitch over the emailing of the LAS.  Have they said that there was a problem with the other emergency services?  I haven't seen that. Some roads are very straight and cars travel far too fast along them.  It was noticeable that despite the 20mph calming measures which the majority stick to there are some who greatly exceed this.

You have to admit that nowadays consultations before something happens aren't exactly inclusive or democratic either.  They are often hijacked by a very vocal minority and many may not bother/feel knowledgeable enough/have time/or even know about them to take part - and many are not online and are consequently disenfranchised.
