Olympic Games Lanes

There was a parked up unmarked City Police Shogun on the Queen St side of the junction last night - with a couple of stressy looking officers inside as they were witnessing the ensuing mayhem - peds running over the road, as the ped crossing was barriered off/mingling in with cyclist trying to get across at the same time.

I asked politely - wtf - and was told there is no pedestrian or cycle access across Upper Thames Street as the **Olympic lane traffic will not be observing the traffic light signals **!!

So when crossing, better watch out for liveried up beemers, who apparently aren't stopping

Why the fuck not?
