It's not just in urban areas like high streets, pollution levels are also increasing alongside major arterial routes, coincidentally where Highways England are considering implementing variable speed limits to improve flow and so reduce emissions from the acceleration-braking cycle.
And before you condemn that idea from NICE . . .
Speed bumps, a current favourite with local authorities, are less favourable, as there is a chance they increase emissions rather than reduce them. jont- wrote: about noise levels on the tube being high enough to damage hearing? Perhaps we should ban the underground too.
No, perhaps we should consider doing something about it? After all, we stopped children being sent up the chimneys and crawling under the looms, then progressed onto other successful health and safety at work aspects - so why should travellers endure harm on the way to and from work?

So you'll have an empty road - but will still have to travel slowly
