The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version encourage passive surveillance, as can lighting. The London Cycling Design Standards (TfL 2005) sets out good practice and endorses Sheffield stands for on street parking. A popular alternative is the CaMden stand. Whichever stand is chosen, it should allow for parking on either side, as this provides additional capacity. TfL intend to publish a compendium of good practice on cycle parking. POLICY 6.10 WALKING Strategic A The Mayor will work with all relevant partners to bring about a significant increase in walking in London, by emphasizing the quality of the pedestrian and street environment, including the use of shared space principles – promoting simplified streetscape, decluttering and access for all. Planning decisions B Development proposals should ensure high quality pedestrian environments and emphasise the quality of the pedestrian and street space. LDF preparation C DPDs should: a identify, promote and complete the relevant sections of the strategic walking routes shown on Map 6.3, as well as borough routes b identify and implement accessible, safe and convenient direct routes to town centres, transport nodes and other key uses c promote the ‘Legible London’ initiative to improve pedestrian wayfinding d provide for the undertaking of audits to ensure that the existing pedestrian infrastructure is suitable for its proposed use e encourage a higher quality pedestrian and street environment, including the use of shared space principles, as such simplified streetscape, decluttering, and access for all. 6.37 The Mayor is also committed to a substantial increase in walking in London. To this end, the quality and safety of London’s pedestrian environment should be improved to make the experience of walking more pleasant and an increasingly viable alternative to the private car (see also policies on inclusive environments (7.2) and the public realm (7.5)). By providing safe and attractive routes that are easy to navigate, such as the seven strategic walking routes, people will be encouraged to walk more, which will have safety, economic and health benefits for them and also help tackle climate change and support the viability of town centres. ‘Legible London’ is a pedestrian wayfinding system, developed by Transport for London (TfL), to support walking journeys around the capital. By providing clear, comprehensive and consistent information the system gives pedestrians the confidence to attempt more journeys on foot. The system uses map-based information, presented in a range of formats including on-street signs. The signs have been designed to enhance the urban realm and sit comfortably in a range of London settings. The Mayor is keen to promote street trees, and proposals for public realm improvements should include additional planting, while avoiding removing trees to further decluttering. Page 192 of 310
The London Plan July 2011 – RTF version [Map 6.3 Strategic walking routes] 6.38 Planning briefs and masterplans should include principles to encourage a high quality, connected pedestrian environment. Walking issues should be addressed in development proposals, to ensure that walking is promoted and that street conditions, especially safety/security and accessibility for disabled people, are enhanced. The 2005 Improving Walkability 131 guidance aims to ensure that the ‘walkability’ of a place can be characterized by the 5Cs - walking networks and facilities should be connected, convivial, conspicuous, comfortable and convenient. POLICY 6.11 SMOOTHING TRAFFIC FLOW AND TACKLING CONGESTION Strategic A The Mayor wishes to see DPDs and Local Implementation Plans (LIPs) take a coordinated approach to smoothing traffic flow and tackling congestion. The Mayor will use his powers where appropriate. LDF preparation B DPDs should develop an integrated package of measures drawn from the following: a promoting local services and e-services to reduce the need to travel b improving the extent and quality of pedestrian and cycling routes c making greater use of the Blue Ribbon Network d improving the extent and quality of public transport e developing intelligent transport systems to convey information to transport users f developing integrated and comprehensive travel planning advice g promoting and encouraging car sharing and car clubs h smoothing traffic flow to improve journey time reliability i applying corridor management to ensure that the needs of street users and improvements to the public realm are dealt with in a co-ordinated way j promoting of efficient and sustainable arrangements for the transportation and delivery of freight. 6.39 Smoothing traffic flow is the Mayor's broad approach to managing road congestion, improving traffic journey time, reliability and predictability. There is an urgent need to smooth traffic flow and reduce congestion and traffic levels, as these have detrimental impacts on health, climate change and the economy. Improved public transport, better management of the road network, smarter travel initiatives and support for a shift to walking and cycling, in accordance with the policies in this Plan and the Mayor’s Transport Strategy, will help mitigate the congestion impacts of population and economic growth. This approach will ensure more reliable journey times on the road network than would otherwise be the case and help reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and air pollutants. If these measures prove unsuccessful the principle road-user charging as a demand management tool 131 Transport for London, Improving Walkability, 2005 Page 193 of 310
