Children are exposed to five times more #airpollution during the #schoolrun. Highest level on main roads & near #idling vehicles = stunted lung & brain growth😱

1/ When side roads are closed to create
#LTNs
, some traffic may evaporate i.e. motorists may choose to walk, cycle, use public transport, travel at different time or not travel at all. Experts say around 14% median
#trafficevaporation
but acknowledge the impact of
#coronvirus
.

2/ The vast majority of the traffic will find alternative routes including on the boundary roads. This was shown in Waltham Forest LTN with an increase of 3%, 11% and 28% on the boundary roads. We'd likely see a rise on other surrounding roads but sadly they were not monitored.

It's a small percentage of drivers who repeatedly keep their engines running when parked (
#idling
).
For their own personal comfort they worsen
#airpollution
that stunts children's lung growth and contributes to
#climatechange
.
🙏🏽 Please say
#NO2idling
👇🏽

Did you know…
An
#idling
vehicle produces almost 2x the exhaust emissions as a moving vehicle.
Diesel engine exhaust is carcinogenic group 1 like tobacco smoke.
Children are exposed to more
#airpollution
as closer to vehicle exhaust pipes.
