The local authority here delivered traffic calming/reduction projects know as Mini Holland schemes
Through traffic was filtered from residential streets using one way streets (with two way cycling), trees as filters and small gardens.
The effect:
✅less thru traffic
✅residents, deliveries and emergency services unaffected
✅less noise (it’s remarkably quiet) 🐦
✅greenery
