Lets have all types of road users treated equal.

Additonally I would like to see bus lanes scrapped where they are not big enough to fit busses into, this would cut down on accident in dangerous locations where busses encroach on an adjacent lane. In these instances the law of phycics makes it clear that there is not enough room for a bus lane but the council out one there anyway.
I'd like to see cyclists have compulsory third party insurance - if they insist on riding on the pavement to the detriment of pedestrians, and also on the road without lights, then they need to be insured for third party at least
