Subject: RE: BS: Cycling MUST be made illegal in UK
You don't seem to have the same proliferation of takeway delivery drivers that we have in Acton, a danger to themselves other road users and pedestrians. I can;t remember the last time as saw an electric bike rider having to dodge out of the way of a pedestrians walking behind them at high speed. A blanket ban would be far easier to implement than trying to root out the individual cyclists who are a danger. Alternatively, local authoriotes could be tasked with operting traffic lights manually and not turn pedstrian lights, and the vehivle lights for the other directions green until they are certain that cyclists are going to stop at the red lights. Alternatively having football stadium intensity fllod lights at and approaching traffic lights would compensate for cyclists not bothering with lights.
