Re: Yet again - Cyclist Killed in London
I believe that there are several ways o improve cycling on the road - and banning Lorries isn't one of them in certain times.
Companies will suffer, and prices will go up for shopkeepers.
Lorries have vital work in London, and yes, there are time limits on work being done.
When l was a delivery driver in Oxford. I was told deliveries had to made before a certain time. Otherwise you would have 'poles' coming through the ground to stop you getting out of that area until after a certain time.
BUT, Oxford isn't London. This cannot work, in London there are major companies and they need to work.
What need to happen is to EDUCATE the cyclist on the usage of the road. On most Lorries and large vehicles, they have large signs on the rear of the Lorries 'DONT PASS ON THIS SIDE' I have seen loads of cyclists ignoring this
You have cyclist on the pavement - this is an offence, and people say, they do that as it is dangerous on the road - what about pedestrians.
In Hounslow High Street, there is a sign NO CYCLING IN THIS AREA, today when l was there. There were cyclist everywhere.
IF, cyclists want MORE protection on the roads - then they should wear Hi Vis, have lights and PAY INSURANCE like car drivers have to
Cyclist need education
