I hope, in a way, they will do lots of this to both get commuters out of cars and freight out of trucks. Then the roads themselves might be a bit safer...expect to see former railway lines turned cycle and walking paths reverted back to train lines, regardless of their current public benefit to walkers and cyclists.
I was saying to my neighbour, I wouldn't mind if my local NCN66 was reclaimed by a train, so long as all road routes in the area were treated to a proper safe cycle lane. Still, train lines cost an order of magnitude more than cycle routes, so I doubt this is a problem I have to worry about, because the government can't even afford cycle ways.I hope, in a way, they will do lots of this to both get commuters out of cars and freight out of trucks.

But I'm not holding my breath...
I personally think that is more important that getting people out of carsfreight out of trucks.
Absolutely, but not just on grounds of safety, but because the laws physics mean we can't electrify HGVs. Freight, and civilization itself is inherently unsustainable so long as we rely on diesel trucks.I personally think that is more important that getting people out of cars
