TRL has developed and launched a new website entitled Ratemystreet, focusing on rating a street's walkability. Based on a 5-star rating system, the online tool utilises Google maps and Google Street view to allow people to see their streets and rate them from around the globe. Ratemystreet is a complimentary tool to TRL's PERS (Pedestrian Environment Review System) software. For further information, please visit the TRL website. To rate your street, please go directly to http://www.ratemystreet.co.uk/.
