They don't like it because it is obstructive (for them and for certain others) which is another kettle of fish. And yes, there is a school near me. I don't care for the obstruction, but I recognise that it is limited and temporary and that I can live with it. |

I don't care for the obstruction, but I recognise that it is limited and temporary and that I can live with it. I don’t like it because it is hazardous to the people who are walking cycling and crossing the road. The types of hazards I refer to is: 1 Doors being fling open into children and pedestrians on the path as well as cyclists passing in the door zone. 2 Drivers pulling away, not being aware of people crossing the road in front of them and/or reversing into tight places where people are crossing. 3 Children emerging between parked cars, either to cross the road or to reach mummy’s car on the other side of the road and being struck by traffic. If I had my way, I would ban all traffic from outside all schools for 15 minutes either side of opening and chucking out time. HPVs excluded, of course. |

I don't care for the obstruction, but I recognise that it is limited and temporary and that I can live with it. I don’t like it because it is hazardous to the people who are walking cycling and crossing the road. The types of hazards I refer to is: All traffic movement is potentially hazardous. Would you ban all traffic movements? 1 Doors being fling open into children and pedestrians on the path as well as cyclists passing in the door zone. 2 Drivers pulling away, not being aware of people crossing the road in front of them and/or reversing into tight places where people are crossing. 3 Children emerging between parked cars, either to cross the road or to reach mummy’s car on the other side of the road and being struck by traffic. None of these are peculiar to schools. If I had my way, I would ban all traffic from outside all schools for 15 minutes either side of opening and chucking out time. HPVs excluded, of course. Really? |

Human Powered Vehicles. Who's screaming? :-) I did not recognise the abreviation, so you have yet another discrimination. I find more danger from cyclists while walking than from cars and imagine how many cyclist /pedestrian crashes there would be if the parents thought there was no traffic allowed. |

Human Powered Vehicles. Who's screaming? :-) Incorrect. Cyclists are not human. -- Dave-Cyclists VOHR ''As the severity of the injury increased the benefit of wearing a helmet increased, which is very hard to ignore I think,'' Dr Olivier said. Results showed that cyclists without helmets were more than 3.9 times as likely to sustain a head injury to those with helmets. Helmets reduced the risk of moderate head injury by 49 per cent, of serious head injury by 62 per cent, and of severe head injury by 74 per cent". |

Almost like Squashme fundamentally objects to all car use because he doesn't like the freedom from control that it gives people, isn't it? |
