Low Traffic Neighbourhood In Birmingham

Extra width pavements to protect pedestrians as part of the Low-traffic neighbourhood initiative put in place in Kings Heath on 16th November 2020 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. These traffic restrictions, many of which have been rushed through by local councils during the Coronavirus pandemic have created controversy in local communities, many of whom object the road closures which affect some businesses and roads adversely. The green measures, which have been named 'places for people' by Birmingham City Council are designed reduce traffic and to promote walking and cycling have been criticised for being environmentally unsound, and forcing traffic onto previously quiet roads.
