July 25, 2023 - London boroughs’ efforts to reduce traffic and speed limits have paved the way for the introduction of 10 new cycleways, expanding accessibility for 550,000 more Londoners.
Transport for London (TfL) has opened 10 new low-traffic cycleways in London, the largest batch ever launched at once. These routes, combined with three earlier ones, aim to improve cycling safety and convenience in the city. The initiative expands the walking and cycling infrastructure and brings the number of Londoners within 400m of a high-quality cycle route to over 550,000, contributing to the Mayor’s target of 40% accessibility by 2030.
The cycleways connect outer London town centres, such as Walthamstow, Ilford, Barking and Barnes, to the growing cycle network, promoting cycling among new residents and traditionally under-represented groups. Notable routes include a 10km path in Enfield, part of London’s longest continuous cycleway spanning over 25km, linking Enfield, Haringey and Hackney.
