Hi Will - interesting stuff! School runs definitely make a big difference - hopefully roll out of school streets across Lambeth will help. On benchmarks, we decided to go with WHO to make it applicable globally. There is a mishmash of different limits and indices used across the world so WHO levels are the only really comparable ones!

Also, an observation I noted this week. Traffic levels on Brixton Hill have reduced dramatically this week. It appears that Croydon, Southwark and Bromley have their half-term school holidays, however, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Merton, Surrey, Sutton, Lewisham, Bexley and Kingston Upon Thames have theirs next week. I appreciate this is not true data lead science, but it does make you wonder, is all the traffic we witness travelling along Brixton Hill as a result of residents from Croydon, Southwark and Bromley? TfL needs to conduct a proper traffic study using the ULEZ camera technology to see if there are patterns that future public transportation solutions can help solve.
