More poor driving by the so-called "experts".

As promised, back to the home front now... and luckily, no one was using this cycle lane when a Morrison's delivery van ploughed straight through a segregating 'wand' on a pop-up cycle route in the district of Wood Green, Haringey.

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.

Long vehicle making a tight turn.
What's the problem?
*All* vehicular road users should hang back and give the truck room.

It destroyed fixed road furniture, like this driver did.
The road was empty at the time.

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.

"Fixed"?

Does that mean the same as "temporary"?
