[quote=Oliver Schick;696368]Don't start with pedestrians--start with HGV/car drivers. They have the greatest responsibilities. Pedestrians and cyclists are not an equal target, but their role has in the past usually been exaggerated. For instance, campaigns to scare pedestrians off the roads and streets appear to have resulted in the highest child pedestrian casualty rate in Europe.

Oliver if we're talking about the 'duty of care' here then HGV/car drivers do have the greatest responsibilities and obviously they should be targeted on this. I am talking about an 'up-to-date' awareness of cyclists for pedestrians - not another campaign to scare/demonstrate that the more /bigger road users are kings of the jungle.
