Catching Up

Due to some technical difficulties, and a lot of travel, posting has suffered here as of late; thanks as always to all the tips, etc., that have come in.

Here’s a few random things from the last week in which I’m quoted, etc.

London set to expand “shared streets” trials, notes the Times. I’ve not had the chance to really look into this in depth, but the results will certainly bear watching.

Samoa turns to the left, reports Macleans.

The paperback gets some joy from William Skidelsky in the Observer.

Non traffic related, but I have a (largely positive) review of Rebecca Solnit’s new book A Paradise Built in Hell in today’s New York Times Book Review.

And for the paperback there’s been another slew of interviews, particularly on radio, like this one, among many others.

Samoa

If you’re reading this in Samoa, you have one day left to drive on the right. In case you forget, these stickers might help.
