Original Note:
There is no evidence for the claim that low-traffic neighbourhoods cause a long-term reduction in traffic. The Centre for London reports that LTNs can cause large increases in boundary road traffic. A government official says "LTNs don't exist to reduce miles driven." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/low-traffic-zones-just-greenwashing-says-lobby-group-jvck33c69 https://www.centreforlondon.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/CFL-StreetShift-LTNs-Final.pdf
