    @silasmariner xford City Council have publicly stated that the 15-minute city concept does not involve travel restrictions and that traffic filters are not intended to confine people to their local area. If the “travel filters” are not intended to confine people to their local area, then what is their intent? Yea, to confine people.

      Wow, hot take. Do you know what a traffic filter is? It’s just a restriction on through traffic, so that smaller roads aren’t used as part of a route by people going longer distances. It in no way restricts the overall distance that people can travel. In fact it’s less restrictive than some LTN implementations, since at least the road can still be traversed
