The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is an area in London, England, where an emissions standard based charge is applied to non-compliant road vehicles

10 million people are now breathing cleaner air, fewer children are growing up with stunted lungs and fewer people will have to suffer from asthma, dementia and heart disease

Fuckin' love ULEZ. I know it's a largely unpopular opinion outside of this comm, but I like how peaceful it is, how quiet it is, and how chill it is. It's nice driving a low emissions vehicle through it on the rare occasions I have access to it.

Fuckin' love the new 20 zones being rolled out too. The only folk I've heard complain about it are those who generally can't plan anything beyond a pissup in a brewery. It's more relaxing to drive at 20, it feels safer going past pedestrians and cyclists, and it feels less hostile to other road users.

By extension, I love the trend towards paving over city centre roads and only letting mass transit vehicles or cyclists along them with pedestrians. It's much more fun to walk down - or from my niche view - run down iconic city centre locations without being irritating to other pedestrians on pavements or at risk of being struck by a vehicle on the side of the road.
