London has a new campaign to encourage walking, which started just
before the mayoral elections. Could it be associated with that?


To encourage walking, street signs intended for motorists should have
additional signage where differences for pedestrians (and perhaps
cyclists) can usefully be indicated. The obvious example is the "cul-
de-sac" sign, where the road is part of a pedestrian through route.

Round here, cycle routes have their own indications : cyclists are
encouraged to use residential road routes, whereas motorists are not.
While pedestrian links are often indicated, I've noticed no general
concept of longer-range urban pedestrian routing.

A snag : it might increase the number of cyclists using "no-cycling"
routes.
