DLR Signs Standard Docklands Light Rail Docklands Light Rail Signs standard Issue 2 MAYOR OF LONDON Transport for London Docklands Light Rail Sign Standards Contents Foreword The way a company expresses itself, its public ‘tone of voice’, affects the attitude of our customers towards us. The way in which information is given, is in many cases, crucial to its understanding or acceptance. An important element in this expression is signage, which must project an image of efficiency, consistency and modernity. Signing of facilities has also to function on an operational level, moving customers through the system safely. The detailed information in this standard represents the culmination of thorough research, design and development. By careful and consistent application of this standard we will further enhance the image of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) network in London.

The value of the roundel itself can hardly be overestimated. It is one of the world’s best known symbols and carries a tremendous weight of goodwill. In order to preserve its value, the rules in this section for its reproduction and application must be strictly adhered to. Colours are similarly important. Approved NCS colour references should always be used when specifying colours. The New Johnston typeface is representative of the Transport for London ‘tone of voice’. Its friendly, yet authoritative appearance has been a familiar and reassuring sight for decades. Basic elements Contents 1.2 1.2 Colour The house colour for Docklands Light Railway must be carried out during manufacture and on signing is DLR turquoise, but there are other delivery of signs.

It is highly legible and yet ‘friendly’ in tone. Lettering must be shown in Corporate blue (NCS S 3560-R80B) unless stated otherwise. It is to be upper and lower case, not capitals only, and initial capitals are used only for the beginning of a message or for proper names.

One ‘x’ is the standard minimum between two lines of information. When information in more than one size of lettering is used, the larger ‘x’ height should be used to separate the two lines of differing size. The smaller letter size is normally 70% of the larger size. Unless the function of the sign dictates otherwise, text is ranged left. Where line spacing is used to split direction, a double line space is used between.

Arrows indicating direction to the left, straight ahead or down should be placed left hand side of the first line of the message. Arrows indicating direction to the right should be placed at the right hand side of the first line of the message. Sign messages should be ranged left to right according to the direction indicated by the arrow.

  • The London Congestion Charge
    Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 20, Number 4—Fall 2006—Pages 157–176 The London Congestion Charge Jonathan Leape y the 1990s, the average speed of trips across London was below that at the beginning of the twentieth century—before the car was introduced (New- B bery, 1990, p. 35). Traffic speeds in central London had fallen more than 20 percent since the 1960s, from an average 12.7 mph for the morning peak period in 1968 (and a high of 14.2 mph in 1975) to 10 mph in 1998. Even in the larger area of inner London, drivers in 1998 spent almost 30 percent of their time stationary during peak periods and more than half their time traveling at speeds of less than 10 mph (Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions, 1998). By 2002, the all-day average travel speed in central London was just 8.6 mph (14.3 km/hour), compared to an uncongested (night-time or “free flow”) average speed of around 20 mph (32 km/hour). Congestion, measured in terms of minutes of delay per mile compared to uncongested conditions, averaged 3.7 minutes/mile (2.3 min/km) (Transport for London, 2003a, p. 11). With more than one million people entering central London between 7:00 and 10:00 a.m. on an average workday, and more than one-quarter of those by road, the cost of congestion was clearly considerable. Public concern over levels of traffic congestion was high. An independent survey in 1999 identified public transport and congestion as the two most “impor- tant problems requiring action”—selected by 46 and 33 percent of London resi- dents, respectively, compared to 20 percent for crime or law and order.

  • Congestion Charges for Urban Transport
    GOOD PRACTICES IN CITY ENERGY EFFICIENCY London, United Kingdom – Congestion Charges for Urban Transport Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) reports are published to communicate the results of ESMAP’s work to the development community. This document has not been prepared in accordance with the procedures appropriate to formal documents. Some sources cited in this paper may be informal documents that are not readily available. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this report are entirely those of the author(s) and should not be attributed in any manner to the World Bank, or its affiliated organizations, or to members of its board of executive directors for the countries they represent, or to ESMAP. London Transportation Case Study August 2011 Project title London Congestion Charges for Urban Transport Sector Urban Transport Type of project Congestion Charges City and country London, United Kingdom City population 8.59 million (in 2008) Capital Cost US$242.8 million (Phase 1, 2002/3) US$189.5 million (Phase 2, 2006/7)1 Annual % of energy reduction 3% (44-48 million liters annually) Project status Ongoing; Phase 1 completed 2003, Phase 2 completed 2007 Project Summary In February 2003, London, the capital city of the United Kingdom (U.K.), introduced a daily congestion fee for vehicles travelling in the city’s central district during weekdays. This fee was meant to ease traffic congestion, improve travel time and reliability, and make central London more attractive to businesses and visitors. According to analysis by the City, the program has largely met its objectives. After four years of operation, traffic entering the charge zone was reduced by 21 percent; congestion, measured as a travel rate (minutes per kilometer), was 8 percent lower; and annual fuel consumption fell by approximately 44-48 million liters or about 3 percent.

[email protected] Abstract We explore place branding as an economic development strategy for technology clusters, using London’s ‘Tech City’ initiative as a case study. We site place branding in a larger family of policies that develop spatial imaginaries, and specify affordances and constraints on place brands and brand-led strategies. Using mixed methods over a long timeframe, we analyse Tech City’s emergence and the overlapping, competing narratives that preceded and succeeded it, highlighting day-to-day challenges and more basic tensions. While a strong brand has developed, we cast doubt on claims that policy has had a catalytic effect, at least in the ways originally intended.

  • A Rail Manifesto for London
    A Rail Manifesto for London The new covered walkway linking Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations creates an interchange which provides a better connection and more journey opportunities March 2016 A Rail Manifesto for London Railfuture1 seeks to inform and influence the development of transport policies and practices nationally and locally. We offer candidates for the 2016 London Mayoral and Assembly elections this manifesto2, which represents a distillation of the electorate’s aspirations for a developing railway for London, for delivery during the next four years or to be prepared for delivery during the following period of office. Executive Summary Recognising the importance of all rail-based transport to the economy of London and to its residents, commuters and visitors alike, Railfuture wishes to see holistic and coherent rail services across all of London, integrated with all other public transport, with common fares and conditions. Achieving this is covered by the following 10 policy themes: 1. Services in London the Mayor should take over. The 2007 transfer of some National Rail services to TfL has been a huge success, transforming some of the worst services in London into some of the best performing. Railfuture believes it is right that the Mayor should take over responsibility for more rail services in London, either by transferring service operation to TfL or by TfL specifying service levels to the operator, and that this must benefit all of London. 2. Improved Services. Frequencies play an important role in the success of metro and suburban train services. We believe that the Mayor should set out the minimum standards of service levels across London seven days per week for all rail services.
