Re: [Update] Cyclist convicted of "wanton and furious driving"

My oh my you girls are having fun .

Doesn't change the fact that a major project with a stated main objective of encouraging cycling, which as far as I can tell, does nothing of the sort. But then, that's the uncomfortable fact you're trying to drown out of the discussion.

Quote:
MERSEY GATEWAY OBJECTIVES

The main objectives of the project are to;
  • relieve the congested Silver Jubilee Bridge, thereby removing the constraint on local and regional development and better provide for local transport needs,
  • apply minimum toll and road user charges to both the Mersey Gateway Bridge and the SJB consistent with the level required to satisfy the affordability constraints,
  • improve accessibility in order to maximise local development and regional economic growth opportunities,
  • improve local air quality and enhance the general urban environment,
  • improve public transport links across the River Mersey,
  • encourage the increased use of cycling and walking, and
  • restore effective network resilience for road transport across the River Mersey.
You'll all be in electric cars soon or on bikes. Or on electric bikes.

This will mean the lardy lazy amongst you will be housebound which is the safest place for you.
