No doubt some of you saw the old bill handing out tickets outside Holborn Tube this morning. Below is a quote from an email sent from my rozzer mate (he's alright really) warning of new areas being concentrated on at the moment.
it reads:
"Apparently certain police teams are conducting an operation to target cyclists who cycle through red lights and cycle on the pavement. On six occasions over the last four weeks, officers have issued 61 penalty fines for cycling through red lights, four fines for cycling on the pavement and two for failing to stop for police. Officers, Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and Camden Council Street Wardens have given words of advice to a further 301 cyclists in relation to stopping at junctions and other highway code matters.
Ten main junctions where cyclists were found to commit the offences with a view to attend the locations and enforce legislation:
Theobalds Road j/w Lambs Conduit Street/Red Lion Street
Theobalds Road j/w Proctor Street
Theobalds Road j/w Grays Inn Road
Bloomsbury Way j/w Theobalds Road/Southampton Row
Proctor Street j/w High Holborn
High Holborn j/w Drury Lane
High Holborn j/w Kingsway/Southampton Row
Kingsway j/w Lincolns Inn/Great Queen Street
Pedestrian crossing outside Pendrels Oak Public House in High Holborn
Pedestrian crossing outside the Renaissance Hotel High in High Holborn"
Take heed.
