original petition which was to persuade the LCC in Hackney to drop its refusal to use segregation where it is needed.
But Hackney LCC do not refuse to use segregation. Their understanding of where it's needed is more nuanced
I know we are going round in circles Nic, but do you think that where there is a quietway, a direct parallel route like the one parallel with the A10, then there also needs to be a segregated route on the A10?

I genuinely think this discussion has been positive and not circular. My position has shifted somewhat since @cyclelove threw the gauntlet down.
I am asking this because, being pragmatic, and considering the massive cost of building a segregated lane on A10 -which isn't the busiest of A roads especially between Dalston and Shoreditch, a decent quietway would enable people to travel to and from hackney to the centre)
Fair point, but I have rarely if ever used the A10, I don't know enough about it's utility to make a sensible contribution. Sorry if that sounds evasive but I'm a westerner. I can say that if the road is similar to the A5 through Maida Vale and Kilburn then I would definitely support segregated lanes.

For the quietways, that would make sense. But the quietways are a different solution to a different problem than the solution of segregation on main roads. Which brings us back to the original petition which was to persuade the LCC in Hackney to drop its refusal to use segregation where it is needed.
