The City of London Corporation today confirmed that it planned to press ahead with an 18-month trial of a 7am to 7pm ban at Bank from April in an attempt to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
A total of 34 cyclists and 31 pedestrians were injured in the 7am-7pm period between 2011 and last year and City experts predict the move could cut casualties by 50 to 60 per cent.
So 65 injuries have been caused by traffic in that time period. And they think that by removing traffic in that period, they'll cut casualties in half? How are 30-odd people going to be injured by lorries that aren't there?
