'Cycle lanes should not be on the pavement'
Like to share this about a junction layout at Blackhorse Road Station in Walthamstow in London in the UK, which routed cycle lanes on the pavement behind green man pedestrian crossings. This is what Andrew, the Past President of the National Federation of the Blind of the UK, who is blind and a long white cane user, had to say about it ‘The cycle lanes should not be on the pavement. It’s detrimental to the independence of blind and partially sighted people.’ Alt text given in comments below.
Film shows a cycle lane routed behind the green man pedestrian crossing with a zebra crossing set slightly back from it. There is a strip of tactile either side of the zebra crossing and at the green man crossing. The cycle lane is all level surface with the pedestrian area.
Cyclists, e-bike riders, cargo bike users, e-scooter riders riding on pedestrian area and across the zebra crossing infront and behind pedestrians. With many cutting the corner and riding straight over the pedestrian area, some at speed. With pedestrians giving way to people riding through. People were also riding the wrong way on the cycle lanes, making the one way cycle lane two way.

Lorry drivers have to look after everyone below them, car drivers look after everyone below them and they will all get in trouble as they have a dangerous weapon and it is their responsibility to look after everyone. So cyclists have the same responsibility to pedestrians. But almost nothing is ever done???

    There an easy way for this to be dealt with, and once the news gets around, cyclist might be scared to run red lights. So the police ask for cycle camera and dashcam footage, which will come with a £50 reward, if cyclist is prostituted. Still are place on Facebook, and were asked to share, and if anyone can identify the cyclist, there a £200 reward, if this leads to a prostitution. All parties who report the cyclists, will have there identity protected, so no one will know who reported them Any cyclist who gets reported, and ends up in court, will have to pay the following: £150 fine, £100 court costs, £250 towards the rewards, and of course 3 points on there licence. If this was done, and cyclists repeatedly ended up in court, I believe the number of cyclist would come down, as you dont know who watching, and will report you

A stick 'accidently' dropped in to the spokes of the front wheel of a bike being ridden by a cyclist running a red light! The results 1 broken stick, one cyclist experiencing an emergency stop zero pedestrians injured and some fantastic footage for UA-cam!

    Unfortunately Net Zero carbon goal is more important than people safety. These rental bike companies make profit from renting out bicycles. All Green transportation and Net Zero policies are new ways for making money. If people safety was more important, the government would register all bicycles and e-bikes with number plate, so cyclists would follow the rule same as motorists, and e.g. stop at Zebra Crossing for pedestrians. It is a war between oil companies and some hidden organizations. Electric cars and bikes are going to pay Road Tax in near future. The Road Tax is based on CO2 emission and polluting the air. Why should electric cars and bikes pay Road Tax!!?? Are they going to pollute the air!!?? The government previously claimed that diesel is clean fuel, and after years, they claimed that it is more pollutive than petrol!! I hope people wake up.
