Greenwichs Low Traffic Neighborhoods Go Permanent: A Deep Dive into the Impact and Future Plans

Greenwich Council has made the low traffic neighborhoods in West and East Greenwich permanent, following a successful trial run. The new system blocks through traffic during peak hours, using camera-enforced filters to penalize violators. The council has made adjustments based on resident feedback, such as providing additional vehicle permits and extending permit durations. The reaction has been mixed, with residents appreciating quieter streets and improved safety, while outsiders complain about increased congestion on neighboring roads. The trial period resulted in significant traffic reduction, improved road safety, increased cycling, and cleaner air within the zones. The council is now focusing on enhancing crossings and traffic management in nearby areas, with public input to be considered in the process.
