Calls for fewer cars on city region’s roads to make active travel safer

Research conducted in partnership with the Liverpool City Region shows that less than half of people feel safe cycling in their local area.

Data collected by Sustrans, which has been published in partnership with the Combined Authority, found that only 38% of respondents think the level of safety for cycling in their local area is good. The data forms part of the Walking and Cycling index for the Liverpool City Region which is part of the UK’s largest assessment of walking, wheeling and cycling.

The Index includes an independent survey of 1,297 residents aged 16 or above in Liverpool City Region, as well as updates on local walking and cycling developments. Surveys were carried out during summer 2021 following the lifting of Covid travel restrictions.
