What is an LTN?

A low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) is an area where there are restrictions on entry for cars and other road vehicles. Generally LTNs are neighbourhoods between main roads that drivers use to move between them. By introducing bollards, cameras, barriers, and other measures, it is possible to reserve entry just for residents.

The goal with LTNs is to make streets safer by reducing the amount of through traffic. The hope is that the reduction will also help to improve air quality and make streets quieter. This is beneficial to residents.

Do they add value?

Most people want to live in quiet, peaceful areas. As a result the properties in LTNs can actually be more marketable, especially for families. In fact, according to data from Savills, homes in these locations can enjoy a premium on their values.

LTNs in Ealing

There are a number of low traffic neighbourhoods in London. Councils favour them because of how congested these locations can be. In Ealing, there are currently 9. In the near future the council will add an extra one in W3. Then, there are proposals for 3 more at a later date.

Concerns

While many people appreciate the LTNs, not all are in favour of them. In fact there have been a number of protests and even some attempts to sabotage them. For example, in Ealing flower planters to block cars were knocked over. Elsewhere there have been instances of people removing signs.

There are a number of reasons for the opposition to the schemes. Some believe the LTNs actually punish locals. Others claim they simply cause congestion problems in other locations. In addition some are angry that the restrictions were introduced too quickly, without consulting people.
