Here at WCC we’re interested in road safety for ALL, so we were intrigued when a new (and bizarrely contentious) kind of crossing started popping up in our borough: the ‘Side Zebra’! There’s only 11 in London and they’re all in Westminster. So what are they and do they work?

🚲 When Elaine borrowed an e-cargo bike, she wasn’t planning to rethink everyday travel, but that’s exactly what happened. From school runs to shopping trips, it became a practical alternative to the car, building confidence and cutting car use.
