So, the Mayor thinks that tyres and brakes aggravate the problem
significantly. It would be interesting to know by how much that could be
reduced if we did away with speed humps and all the new traffic lights
which have been installed in the past 20 years.


Yes, it's interesting how much of the pollution is *not* the product of
vehicle combustion engines. So getting rid of older diesels won't have
quite the dramatic impact expected.
