Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTN) have stirred up more controversy after female Uber passengers branded them an attack on personal safety.

Women are being forced to walk the streets alone late at night in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham following the council's decision to introduce an LTN zone that prevents out of borough Uber drivers from entering the area due to the risk of fines.

While Black cabs are exempt from the fines, Uber is yet to find a solution with the council. As a result, passengers are dropped off at boundary roads and must walk home alone, which can often take upwards of 20 minutes.
