This episode of Streets Ahead dives into London’s Vision Zero Action Plan 2, the Mayor’s roadmap to eliminating death and serious injury on the capital’s roads by 2041.

Laura Laker and Adam Tranter are joined by London’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, Will Norman, to assess progress so far and interrogate whether the ambition matches delivery. We explore falling casualty rates, the expansion of cycle infrastructure, and the role of 20mph limits and vehicle safety standards, while asking tougher questions about enforcement, policing, and political headwinds.

The conversation also tackles some of the more contentious issues shaping London’s streets today, from SUVs and side-road zebras to the future of cycling in central London and the balance between different road users.
