Manual for Streets update
The DfT has circulated a draft of the eagerly awaited Manual for Streets update.
Christopher Martin expresses the wish that it must not become just another well-meaning advisory document.
He wrote “My hope for the next Manual for Streets is simple: That it stops asking politely. That it gives practitioners permission, and obligation, to design streets around people, not vehicles.”
