Reduced traffic volumes, particularly during the first lockdown earlier this year, seemed to lead to a reduction in serious and fatal collisions but an increase in extreme speeding. What have you learnt from this, and will it lead to new policy measures to help you achieve Vision Zero?

Changes in traffic volumes due to both lockdowns this year present a natural experiment to study the relationship between traffic volumes and road collisions. Will you commission a full analysis of the impact of changes in traffic in 2020 and the effect on collisions in the upcoming Transport for London (TfL) report, Casualties in Greater London during 2020?

The Times reported on 3 December 2020 that data provided by Transport for London (TfL) in April 2019 showed that 200 out of 500 bridges and other structures it maintains had key sections in poor or very poor condition. Could you provide an up to date list of bridges maintained by TfL, as previously provided to The Times, including details of current Bridge Condition Indicators (BCI) and ratings?

Could you show the length in metres of your strategic cycle network by borough and programme (Cycleway, Quietway, Superhighway, Streetspace) split further to show the length of network on borough roads and Transport for London (TfL) roads within each programme?

I asked you previously about the proportion of Londoners living near your strategic cycle network by borough in my unanswered question 2020/0061. The published overview of the upcoming report, Travel in London 13, states that 17.9 per cent of Londoners live within 400 metres of your strategic London-wide cycle network. Could you provide data to show what proportion of people in each borough currently lives within 400 metres of a high-quality cycle route?

The Commissioner’s Report to Transport for London (TfL) dated 9 December says that: “all remaining snagging and defect works were completed at the end of October 2020,” at Highbury Corner. Local residents, and people passing through on foot and by bike, have raised the need for local wayfinding signage to connect to destinations and other nearby routes, such as the new Liverpool Road pop-up bike lane. Will you provide local wayfinding signage at this and other major junction schemes?

The bike lane on Kensington High Street delivered under your Streetspace programme provided a much-needed safe cycle link in West London but is now planned for removal by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC). You have said that the: “council must rethink the decision to scrap it.” Will you use your powers to take control of the road and provide safe space for cycling?

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has reminded delivery and collection sites of their duty to provide rest and welfare facilities, including toilets and handwashing, to delivery drivers ( https://www.hse.gov.uk/coronavirus/drivers-transport-delivery.htm). Will you support delivery riders using bikes, cargo bikes and powered two wheelers to access rest and welfare facilities across London?

I understand that a small number of borough schemes funded under your Streetspace programme have been removed. Could you confirm which schemes have been, or are being, removed, and how you are engaging with boroughs to either reclaim the money allocated or get it used to provide alternative schemes to enable safe walking and cycling?
