Not accusing anyone of lying. There are no roads that I'm aware of in Hounslow (or Ealing) where taxis can't access, other than places like I live where no cars have been allowed unless the concierge opens the barrier for many years, or the Haverfield estate where many front doors are accessed from pedestrian alleys.Taxis may have to make a short detour to get to the door, at worst. Obviously, I don't know every street in London but the general tenor of the article, applied to LYNs that I know about, is nonsense. If you read the article you will see that the evidence is that LTNs are safer for walkers (of either gender) - see this, which was linked in the Forbes article: https://www.transportxtra.com/publications/local-transport-today/news/68304/study-links-fall-in-streetcrime-%20and-low-traffic-neighbourhoods
