• Ah. OLC's comment was saying that in Europe they have the opposite rule (must ride in cycle lane if present), so when you said "we already have that, but no-one wants to mention it" I was well confused...

  • Yep thanks. I was saying cycle lanes are mandatory in some other countries and i worry with all these new ones that people will clamour for that here.

  • I'm sure the whole cycle lanes being make mandatory has been looked at relatively recently in the UK (last 20 years or so) There used to be a good article about it on the CTC web site about it. It was rejected at the time, thankfully.
