Gyratory traffic schemes, extended one - way systems etc

It does have a very poor collision record for cyclists. I looked at the figures some years ago.

thanks for this. I do sometimes wonder about the relationship between perceived danger and actual rate of incidents. Seems to me that some places 'feel' dangerous but that can actually make most motorists more careful and alert. When I first moved to london I thought cycling round Aldgate figure-of-eight was surely suicidal, but I soon got used to it.
