Gyratory traffic schemes, extended one - way systems etc

I don't know what the Camden group think about this, as I don't read their mailing list. There's absolutely no chance of segregated tracks on TCR, so I don't think anyone in their right mind would campaign for those there. You never know, people might try.

What aspect of the blog post are you interested in? I certainly disagree with the claim that 'there is nothing like having to share space with buses for reducing the feeling of subjective safety for cyclists'. This is simply nonsense. The division of space that David suggests likewise wouldn't work:

The pictures suggest that possible solution in the space could be a two-way road for buses and taxis, then a separating island, and then a two-way tack for cyclists. But this would probably entail moving the massive central lamp columns (which I recall from past discussions have always been an issue in Tottenham Court Road). Alternatively one could have two single-direction cycle tracks on the outsides of the carriageway.

Actually, the pictures suggest that the greatest width of carriageway space that could be achieved here would be about ten metres. Nine metres, one 4.5m lane in each direction without a central reservation, would be ideal. This would work fine with the lighting without having to put in a full-on central reservation. Shockingly enough, the space would be shared with buses and people riding along would also have to look out for pedestrians crossing the street (people's ability to cross the street is vital for any commercial street, for fairly obvious reasons, so that facilitating this will undoubtedly be one of the aims here; segregated tracks would make crossing quite considerably more difficult, as well as impossible for certain people with mobility difficulties).
