Canterbury traffic zones ‘like postwar Berlin without the wall’

  1. TLDR:

    > “This only affects private car travel. If you’re only going two streets away you should be walking anyway, or taking public transport.”

    The end

  2. Sounds like a reasonable idea to push traffic out of the city.

    “Post war Berlin without the wall” is … Berlin.

  3. This article is hard to understand and I go to Canterbury all the time.

    So if I want to go from Thanet to say new dover road I can’t pass though Sturry road to do so?

    I have to join the a2 go around then come in that way? So if I then want to go to the supermarket in Sturry road I go back and around?

    They will rake in lots of cash when people get confused what zone they are in or where the line is drawn.

    Hopefully the new bypass and park and ride opens again soon.

    Just for context the had a really successful park and ride system at Sturry road it’s been closed for ages.

  4. Why not just do the Scandinavian approach. Nice fast ring road, really slow city roads (let’s say 20moh). Prioritise pedestrians and cyclists (raised crossing so the car has to go over a speed bump, dedicated cycles paths that take a short direct routes), and really good, well funded and maintained, public transport (trams, metro, buses).
