London - Plans for safe routes for children to cycle to school, a "commuter tax" on car-parking spaces and more bus lanes will be unveiled today in the British government's long-awaited blueprint to cut traffic congestion.
The Deputy Prime Minister, Mr John Prescott, will publish his integrated transport White Paper setting out his strategy to wean Britain off its love affair with the car and take to public transport. The traditional "school run" - said to account for one-in-five peak hour road journeys - will be targeted with parents urged to send their children to classes on foot, bus or bicycle.
