Cyclists stay back! stickers

Here is an update from TfL to the Cycle safety Group Members about their plans including a consultation on some new improved stickers that say things like 'cyclists take care etc

• Guidance will be provided on the reverse of the freight stickers about (a) which vehicles they should be put on and (b) the approximate location it should be placed.

• Guidance as to which vehicles the freight stickers are suitable for is included on the FORS website at point of ordering the stickers.

• We are drafting the website content now and will update this once the final sticker design is known. Draft text will be shared with you(*)

• The members of the CLOCS working groups (which include the FTA and RHA) have agreed to support the new freight sticker.

• The new freight sticker will be sent out to all FORS members with instructions to remove their old sticker and replace with this one.

• A statement was sent out to all taxi and private hire trade associations on 19 June to inform them that these stickers should not be used on their vehicles.

• At the end of June we advised all our taxi and private hire inspection staff that the cyclist stay back stickers are not approved (so they will be told to remove these if found).

• We will send email updates to taxi and private hire trades to remind them of the correct cycle safety stickers that should be displayed (e.g. the ‘dooring’ stickers).

• We are pursuing legal action against the individual selling the current freight stickers on eBay.

• The Buses team will replace all stickers on buses on a rolling basis until they are all updated.[
