Competition For UK Roads Reaches Flashpoint

The launch of congestion pricing in London four years ago has spurred a vigorous public debate across the UK. In "Road Rage," a new one-hour documentary, the BBC looks at how this debate plays out on the street itself. It examines the ways pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists cope with adverse conditions, and how these different modes of transportation conflict with each other. Streetsblog has the video and a time-stamped guide to several of its key scenes.

From the Road Rage intro:

"For 40 years, Britain's motorists have been the kings of the road, claiming their title through tax discs and fuel duty. But now the balance of power is shifting. There are new pretenders to the throne. Pedestrians and cyclists want equal rights on the road, and this has sparked a war. Our roads are now a battleground."
