Blood on the streets

Also, fwiw, I agree with Buffalo Bill about banning HGVs from London. I've previously written this up with colleagues:

• Deaths of cyclists in London: trends from 1992-2006
  
  

I don't disagree with this bit either:

Conclusions
There is little evidence fatality rates have fallen. Freight vehicles over 3.5 tonnes continue to present a disproportionate threat; they should be removed from urban roads and more appropriate means of delivery of essential goods found.

But that doesn't cover the highest risk vehicles though, the construction industry tippers.

When I'm banging the drum for regulation, control and additional licensing, it's those vehicles specifically that I'm aiming at.

I can't see how the construction industry could function without the vehicles (they're delivering concrete, glass and steel whilst removing rubble and waste). So the question is how can those vehicles be handled such that the industry still works with all other rules in place (noise restrictions banning work outside of certain hours, etc).
