RADBURN

In order to avoid accidents; pedestrians, cyclists and cars must be completely separated. So that there would be no need to jaywalk or have zebra crossings. I believe that cycling and walking is much healthier than going by car, but sadly it is not as safe. With the coming of RADBURNISATION [separate pedestrian and cycle routes] accidents should be reduced by 90%. There are more cycles than cars in England today, but sadly they are kept in bedrooms. It is much cheaper to build a brand new pathway system, than to build new roads. The cycleways and footpaths would mainly be on garden land as is revealed in the captions to MAPS 1 & 2 and Plan 3. Only 1.5% of accommodation, mainly basements would be lost, which could easily be made up when rebuilding elsewhere. Cycling is quicker than the car today. Journeys in London of 2.5 miles took 18 mins. by cycle, 33 mins by car, 31 mins on trains and 38 mins by bus. Separation may be slow in existing historic towns but every individual separation is valuable. 100% can be instantly achieved in new cities. Pedestrians and cyclists need greenery, silence, clean air and safety.
