"During the peak of morning rush hour, the pretty, tree-lined streets along the
edge of London Fields, a public park in the northeast of the British capital
city, are a scene of springtime calm. Blackbirds twitter. Pedestrians linger.
Tulips bathe in the sun.
But just two blocks away, on the A107 road, known as Mare Street for much of
its length, the traffic is almost overwhelming. Queues of towering, red
double-decker buses, white transit vans and cars full of disgruntled commuters
attack the senses.
That stark contrast is largely down to a controversial but effective urban
policy that is reclaiming London’s streets from cars: Low-Traffic
Neighborhoods, or LTNs."
