If people maintain reasonably safe headways, a motorway can carry about 15% more vehicles per hour at 40mph than at 70mph.
Smarter Cambridge Transport’s comments and additional ideas for improving access to Cambridge by cycle, bus and train from the east.
The Greater Cambridge Partnership consultation runs until noon on Monday 14 December 2020. You can either complete the survey or email consultations@greatercambridge.org.uk. Position statement Smarter Cambridge...
The initial proposals from newtork Rail for the Cambridge South station are wholly inadequate and are based on flawed data.
Building more car parks is fundamentally the wrong approach to rapidly de-carbonise transport and reduce congestion on the local road network.
We are concerned that the CAM's Sub Strategy does not mention management of risks, and should state where the network will integrate with coach services.
We urged you to respond to the Combined Authority consultation on the A10 upgrade (Ely to Cambridge) before it closed on Tuesday 14th July 2020.
A range of proposals, including strongly urging Cambridge University to negotiate a ticket-sharing agreement with Stagecoach.
Our objectives for Network Rail to consider when designing Cambridge South station and its access infrastructure.
Smarter Cambridge Transport is the initiative of an impartial group of local people, all volunteers, developing and promoting a modern vision for integrated transport in Cambridge and the surrounding region. Our immediate focus is on ensuring that the Greater Cambridge City Deal money is spent in the best possible way.
The need for a new east-west railway is beyond doubt. The southern approach currently being designed has a distinct advantage.
If we recognise that some people lack a voice in the debate about the future, shouldn’t we help them participate directly?
Groups opposing busways could have their way if they could convince a majority in Greater Cambridge to support a congestion charge instead.
All of these steps can reduce the vehicle-miles we are most directly responsible for without significantly reducing quality of life.
Transport routes should be direct and services as cheap as possible. From the east of Cambridge, no public transport options fit the bill.
Mistrust of the development sector is at an all-time high. How can the new Local Plan avoid making the same mistakes as last time?
Ideas for reducing congestion and pollution in urban areas, developed in the context of the Greater Cambridge area, typical of many UK towns and cities.
The real problem is the huge carbon cost of continuing to use the petrol/diesel vehicles we have now and continue to manufacture.
