Transport for LondonLondon Streets
We have to balance the demand for road space from road users such as pedestrians, drivers and cyclists with the need for freight transport and essential services.
Our role is to provide a well-designed, sustainable and accessible road network which is sympathetic with the unique character of each street.
We also offer real-time traffic information and incident or event updates via our traffic news Twitter feed, as explained in this video:
