Designing-in danger
BIKE-laned roads in London are sparse and intermittent in any event but those lanes often run along one side of the road. Only.
As above, with the hazardous Wightman Road bridge, where a short lane on the east side runs southward.
It's a fact that many cyclists, like car drivers, wish to travel in the opposite direction from which they came.
Here a cyclist going north crosses the road to the slightly better safety of the bike lane. The cyclist will doubtless be far enough forward to see any oncoming traffic beyond the wall.
Note the armadillos. A kind of poor-man's Dutch cycle path, but certainly (a slight) improvement on the municipal Magic Safety Paint alone.
