(From DJ)
just had a call from Andrew Collett at Hammersmith police station. The police had previously not considered the danger of cars filling the ASL or that it would leave cyclists in the cycle lane in the most vulnerable position on the road (on the inside of vehicles that are turning left).
After my explanation of risk the police have reconsidered their policing of the Hammersmith gyratory, and will be enforcing the law for all road users who jump the red light. This means that they will continue to fine cyclists who RLJ, but cars that enter the ASL after the lights have turned red will be considered to have run the red light which entails 6 points on their licence.
Today was the first day they have started to have officers monitoring the junction for both types of infringement.
It really is worth contacting the police regarding the enforcement of ASL's. I am very happy to see the law being equally enforced for both motorists and cyclists.
So rather than whinge on here, perhaps call the relevant people.
