PROTECTED CYCLE TRACK

  • Newham added 6km and saw a 2.0 percentage point increase in protected cycle track
  • Otherwise this indicator is still seeing improvements in accuracy, making changes harder to determine
  • Decreases in City of London (4.4 percentage points) and Southwark (0.7 percentage points) were due to this and wand-protected tracks disappearing

TLRN SCORECARD

July 2026

​

  • The TLRN represents some 5% of London’s roads by length and carries around 30% of London’s traffic.
  • A 2021 report on London’s red routes said the city is “at risk of being left behind in a global movement to transform polluted arterial roads in cities.”
  • In 2026, the coalition is now publishing a Scorecard reflecting TfL’s action on the roads it manages, using 6 indicators.

​

  • Four of these are the same as the Borough Scorecard: action on 20mph speed limits, bus priority, protected cycle track; as well as data on road casualties. The two others reflect specific main road issues: traffic levels, and the proportion of junctions with no green man phase on one or more arm.

​

  • Where possible, the scores show the change from last year.
  • Our intention is to publish data on these indicators each year to show progress.
