A number of people have tried to bring the incident to the attention of the supermarket on social media. Toria Armstrong said: "@Morrisons do you think this is acceptable? Lucky it wasn't a person! Would your driver even notice if they had run over a person?" Another argued that the wands are not fit for purpose, saying: "Tried to cycle down Station Road earlier and the W3 was crushing the wands. They’re clearly impractical. @ContactHaringey could you please just install basic raised curb (SIC) cycle lanes? Safer for all, and a lot less wasteful. |

" So rather than deal with the offender...they are removing the cycle lane?!?! Reminds me of the time I complained to TFL about a bus overtaking then immediately squashing me against the kerb while I was in a cycle lane about 50 feet before a bus stop. They politely responded by promising to remove that section of the cycle lane...jesus wept. It's now a main part of the CS3 now thankfully... reply quote Avatar Philh68 replied to EddyBerckx | 348 posts | 1 day ago 1 like Why immediately assume the worst case scenario? They might just mean relocate the wand outside the turning radius of an articulated lorry so it doesn't get knocked over by these vehicles. |

What's the problem? *All* vehicular road users should hang back and give the truck room. For once, I agree with you (or rather, you agree with me). The same applies to buses and other long vehicles making a turn in a restricted junction. And to tractors and trailers in rural locations with narrow carriageways. |
