What is a Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN)? 

A Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) aims to improve street environments and local neighbourhoods for walking and cycling by reducing traffic volumes. Often, motorised vehicles will use local streets to shorten their journey times, but at the same time increasing local traffic, road danger and pollution levels, and therefore making it harder for residents to choose walking or cycling for local journeys.

An LTN uses access restrictions, known as ‘modal filters’, to prevent motorised vehicles from using local streets as a cut-through to avoid main roads. ‘Modal filters’ are created with physical barriers on the road, such as planters or bollards, or are signposted and monitored with enforcement cameras. Modal filters with physical barriers will restrict access for motorised vehicles but will still allow enough space for pedestrians and cyclists to travel through them.
