Cycle campaigning

Good design can help to reduce human error. You, as a traffic engineer, should know this.
Yes it can help, but the statement "only you have the power" sums up the ludicrioulsy of the cycling lobby. Every time a cyclist is killed in London, no matter where or what the circumstances, they blame Boris. Let me tell you there is no magical design that can keep cyclists 100% safe 100% of the time. The only thing I will agree Boris is to blame for, is stating that he can make cycling safe, and saying cycle superhighways are safe. He's built up an expectation amoungst his loyal followers and dug himself into a hole thats why he's feeling the pressure. But please be under no illusion, Boris is not God.

One key thing that would help is a change in the law that gives legal priority to cyclists over turning traffic, and assumed liability on vehicles that hit cyclists and pedestrians. This has to be done by the government, not Boris. Therefore the campaign should be directed at the DfT
