• @cyclelove, for this thread to be anything but waffle, you gotta propose specifically which main roads and which junctions you'd like to see amended with segregated features (!!)

    Any main route that's not safe for someone who is (say) 15 or 65 to cycle.

    Hey, I'm over 65 and I cycle on every road in Hackney and I haven't died yet - problem solved.

    While we are bashing each other with obscure research I recently came across this selection showing that the increase in casualties at junctions on segregated routes cancels out the reduced casualties on links.

    That view is also supported by Dutch cycling guru Tom Godefrooij one of the authors of the original CROW infrastructure guide
