I have a car, on this job I've had to use it some days, pulling away from these lights is a bit of a nightmare. Also 100 m before them there is a traffic light for the bus lane. When the light changes for traffic in the other lane traffic going straight on to Camberwell moves over into the left lane as the bus lane ends. Motorbikes and occasionally TTing cyclists try to overtake on the inside as their lane ends. I came as close as I ever want to to hitting someone on two wheels a few weeks ago, he was trying to undertake me so be could cross over the lane and......... go down Brixton road.
