• IF residents are exempt from modal filters and can still drive like before, they will not change the way they travel, meaning that traffic evaporation won’t happen.

This means the benefits of LTNs, such as fewer vehicles on the road, less noise and more space for people won’t materialise.

To tackle high traffic volumes and other issues caused by high car use, it wouldn’t make sense to allow residents to continue to drive as easily inside an LTN as they could elsewhere.
