these are pilots yeah? so if they fail, let's make a great big fuss and see if we can stop another 100 million quid or more being pissed up (or painted on) our roads. how much would it cost to have secure bike parking in london? at least that would be a tangible gain.
bike lanes and more complex road infrastructure will fail. they point to cable street as an exemplar but the narrow lanes make it one of the most dangerous places I've ever ridden. simpler roads and less HGVs are what it takes to make the whole environment safer. ever-more complex structures, signage, rules does f*ck all.
