Original Note:
1) The video misleads by saying LTNs force ambulances 'miles in a different direction' when 'your loved one... needs to go to hospital'. LTNs do not impact emergency vehicles. The interviewee provides non-emergency transport only. 2) LTNs were introduced by Boris Johnson. https://findingspress.org/article/18198-the-impact-of-introducing-a-low-traffic-neighbourhood-on-fire-service-emergency-response-times-in-waltham-forest-london https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2021/apr/23/opponents-of-ltns-claim-they-delay-emergency-services-but-look-at-the-facts https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/05/28/blame-boris-low-traffic-neighbourhoods-says-sadiq-khan/
