• Was crossing from the side without the give way lines on Saturday and a cab decided to make a point of trying to run me down for the audacity of it (I assume in his mind a cyclist can't use a crossing without dismounting and therefore deserved it but, who knows?)

    I previously thought the bike lane being inside the beacons gave it equal status/right of way to the pedestrian crossing behind it (as opposed to being a button activated Toucan crossing as with the one further up on Newington Causeway) I've witnessed enough near misses here to try and seek some sort of clear answer from Southwark but I imagine it's the developers of the new residential bits who are responsible and therefore probably applying DfT guidelines pretty loosely?

    The Tiger crossing is part of Cycleway 17 (was a Quietway), so a TfL/Southwark built route. This Tiger crossing is quite old, it was put in before DfT guidelines for Tiger crossings were finalised. So not their fault, but really it should be updated to the proper design now that its been adopted.
