Wembley’s “safe active street” project, costing millions and taking four years, aimed to slow cars and boost cycling—but results are mixed: pedestrian numbers rose, bike use dropped, and car speeds still often exceed limits. While no bike crashes occurred post-project (down from four in a decade), traffic calming measures were deemed inconsistently spaced and insufficiently narrow. Locals are divided, with some praising safety efforts and others frustrated by driving inconvenience. Experts recommend denser traffic calming every 80-100 meters and deeper investigation into why cycling declined. Cambridge is now launching its own review, emphasizing community input and patience as drivers and cyclists adjust to new street designs.
