147941Photo #147941Drivers speed off Kew bridge and the road narrows from 2 lanes to one then opens to 2 lanes again. To cycle towards Richmond on the A307 means holding the lane for a significant length of time and drivers tailgate. Slower speeds plus a cycle lane needs adding even if it means cutting in to the green - more cycles means more green clean air.Cycleway:

145222Photo #145222Hampton Road in Teddington has always been pretty busy but, since the start of the pandemic, there has been a steady increase of car traffic. Terrorized cyclists often have to cycle on the pavement and this, in turn, scares the walkers. The air quality of the area has worsened dramatically. It would be good to see more safe areas for cycling, walking and scooting.Cycleway:

135998Photo #135998The pavement here is already extremely narrow, but the council with its complete contempt for pedestrians has allocated pavement space for cars to park on. This means that the pavement is completely inaccessible to disabled people and anyone with a pushchair or pram. Pedestrians have to walk in the road. This whole road (South Worple Way) needs to be free of parked cars and it needs to be filtered so that it is impossible to drive more than a few metres along it. It's used by a lot of people walking and cycling to get between Barnes and East Sheen/Mortlake while avoiding the traffic and associated pollution on the Upper Richmond Road. It's not wide enough for cars so just get rid of them. It is insane to force pedestrians to walk in the road because cars are on the pavement.Track:

135954Photo #135954This pavement is very narrow and cars regularly park on it so you cant get passed safely... and they ignore parking regulations...there are many children in the Close who have the right to be able to get to school safely especially now with Covid 19 and the need for social distancing. we have asked for help many times over the years and nothing has been done. Cars are swinging open doors and driving on the path close to and endangering children.Track:
Problem
track
135854Photo #135854All along White Hart Lane and the surrounding streets, drivers are allowed by the council to park on the pavement. This means that the pavement space available for pedestrians is very narrow in most places. It's difficult for two people to walk next to each other, so it's generally not a pleasant space to be if you are out walking. There are places on some of the side streets where pedestrians have to walk in the road because drivers take up so much space on the pavement. There's definitely no space for social distancing when two pedestrians need to pass each other. The council needs to remove cars from the pavements and just tell people that if they don't have a private space to park their car then they shouldn't own a car because very few people actually need a private car in London. Provide a car sharing scheme instead.Track:

The roads should be filtered to allow save use of the road for social distancing.		Temporary closure:
