If you want the drivers who don't usually worry about pollution to worry about it, implement pollution reduction schemes. If you want them to worry about traffic, implement traffic calming measures. If you want them to worry about pavements, implement active travel measures.

"Making driving more appealing leads to more driving". Logical and uncontroversial. Yet people opposing traffic-calming measures like LTNs dance around that fact. Why? Because they know this to be true and often just try to find excuses for their habits or that of others.
