Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) are urban areas designed to reduce through-traffic and prioritise walking, cycling, and local access. By implementing strategic measures such as road closures, modal filters, traffic-calming features, and enhanced pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, LTNs create safer, quieter, and more livable streets for residents. 

These schemes help to: 

• Reduce vehicle volumes and cut-through traffic 

• Improve air quality and reduce noise pollution 

• Encourage active travel and healthier lifestyles 

• Enhance community spaces and local connectivity 

We work in partnership with local authorities to design and deliver effective Low Traffic Neighbourhoods that align with sustainability goals and urban mobility strategies. Our services include the installation of traffic barriers, modal filters, cycleways, and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure—all tailored to the unique needs of each community. 

Proven Experience in Delivering LTNs 

In Tower Hamlets, we’ve delivered major highway reconstruction projects that reallocate road space to prioritise walking and cycling. Key schemes include Old Bethnal Green Road, Columbia Road, and several connecting streets—transforming them into safer, low-traffic environments. 

In Waltham Forest, we’ve implemented a wide range of Low Traffic Neighbourhood features, including modal filters and dedicated cycle routes such as C23, C24, and C26. These projects have played a key role in the borough’s award-winning active travel programme. 

With a strong focus on community engagement, safety, and sustainability, our experienced teams ensure that every Low Traffic Neighbourhood project delivers long-term benefits for residents and the environment.
