Benefits for residents

Benefits of re-directing traffic from smaller residential streets

• Fewer road traffic collisions, particularly involving pedestrians
• Less air pollution from the worst offenders - cars, vans, and trucks
• Children not as exposed to toxic exhaust fumes, which put them at a greater risk of developing a health condition.
• Traffic often from outside the area can no longer make short-cuts onto smaller streets not designed for heavy vehicle use
• Safer for residents, especially children walking to school and playing out
• Nicer environment for walking and cycling to local cafes, shops, and parks.
• A more physically active and healthier community.
• A more attractive place to live.
