Seems bus stop bypasses are okay if they’re to convenience cars and have no pedestrian crossings.

Cycleway 4 has multiple floating bus stops. However since the introduction of the cycleway, there has been a dramatic increase in usage, esp with children - cycling and scooting as well as less able. I can’t imagine pushing them back into the road to mix with vehicles.

17 years ago today at this bus stop in Mortlake I was crushed under a bus while driver had road rage. But much worse than that my mother Elizabeth died and my precious daughter lost her leg. But the Ministry of justice still don’t treat road crime as real crime, which must change

BONJOUR! 🇫🇷
My name’s Carla Francome and I want freedom to ride. I want freedom to ride safely for me, my friends and my family.
And I want freedom to ride for YOU.
Tens of thousands of women and their allies are heading to central London to 🚲 for freedom. More later!

🥳We're planning a new cycle track from Shepherd’s Bush Green around Holland Park Roundabout to Holland Park Avenue.🥳
It includes new bus lane, crossings & SuDS & will join up with the planned cycleway on Wood Lane.

It was a BIG night tonight, the launch of London Cycling’s report, “What stops women cycling?”
1000 women were surveyed about the abuse they face on bikes in the capital, and the results are astounding.
9 out of 10 women have faced aggression or abuse on the road.

National policy should not be set by listening to crack-pot conspiracy theories instead of actual evidence.
Data repeatedly shows well-planned LTNs work & 20mph saves lives.
DFT dropping active travel "quietly" with no public announcements is wrong.

"I felt free" - congrats to Southwark’s Deputy Mayor @Naima_Ali01 riding a bike for the first time! Over 40% of suitable areas in @lb_southwark are now Low Traffic Neighbourhoods plus the new C4 cycle lane, so lots of safe places to explore 🙌 londonnewsonline.co.uk/i-fel…

If self driving cars are going to be safe. Why would the manufacturers even need an immunity from prosecution? Given they won't be killing or injuring anyone.
Some of the more interesting nuggets in the King's Speech:
* A new tax on vapes - likely to be controversial
* Self-driving cars - immunity from prosecution if autonomous vehicle is in control
* Discussions on tent ban for rough sleepers ongoing

Lambeth’s new road danger reduction strategy is (like their other transport docs) best in class.
Highlights-
-The shocking financial cost of road traffic collisions.
- A clear recognition of how you effectively address danger.

I'm genuinely puzzled by the emergence of 'the motorist' as a political identity, as if people who drive cars have distinct set of priorities and values.

Helsinki planners have modelled what happens when pedestrians are prioritised, rather than forced to wait ages to cross.
They found that a 5% improvement in the walking environment leads to a 2.3% increase in public transport use and €8.5 million increase in fares.
So, how? 🧵

🚨 BREAKING: We hand-delivered cycle-lane bollards to the Kensington & Chelsea Customer Service Centre to hammer home how there are no protected cycle lanes in the whole borough.

WELL LADIES AND GENTS!
Today I saw an act of utter 💯% heroism in tackling the dreadful parking on our streets 🌟🌟
As you can imagine, it didn’t come from this delivery driver- who decided this was “parking” 😐
I tried to make my way past this abomination with two … 1/8

@London_Cycling names @hackneycouncil as leading the way on cycling, with @CamdenCouncil @wfcouncil @lambeth_council doing brilliantly too. Nice work!
Calling on @MayorofLondon to keep up Vision Zero (collisions) and to catch up on Net Zero (emissions).
