Cycle friendly roundabout claims its first victim
"There will be segregated cycle lanes and the points at which riders
cross the road will be controlled by traffic lights to avoid any potential conflict. We hope this will be a blueprint others can follow." Perhaps the above shows the problem, cyclists do not know traffic lights apply to bicycles. http://www.wandsworthguardian.co.uk/...rubbish-truck/ |

Perhaps the above shows the problem, cyclists do not know traffic lights apply to bicycles. http://www.wandsworthguardian.co.uk/...rubbish-truck/ QUOTE: [A] Wandsworth Council transport spokesman said: “This is an innovative design and we expect it will be the first major roundabout in London which separates cyclists from other traffic in this way. There will be segregated cycle lanes and the points at which riders cross the road will be controlled by traffic lights to avoid any potential conflict". Traffic lights expected to avoid any potential traffic conflicts between cyclists and other traffic? Yeah, right. There's your problem right there, and someone had to pay the ultimate price to prove the obvious. |

Please post the rest of the link with evidence to support your claim. |

Perhaps the above shows the problem, cyclists do not know traffic lights apply to bicycles. http://www.wandsworthguardian.co.uk/...rubbish-truck/ There are a couple of obvious solutions to this 1: Keep the cycle light at green and make motorvehicleists press a button to make their light change for 10 seconds with sensors to make sure the light does not change when there are cyclists using the crossing. 2: Remove the lights and give Primary Vehicle Users absolute priority with instructions for motorvehiclists to dismount and push their toys through the crossing. |
