Another point worth making is that non-compliance with principles of adequate risk management is these days a criminal offence, at least as far as the construction industry is concerned. Contractors who cut corners can face jail.
Compare this with the penalties regularly handed out for failures in the equally responsible activity of piloting a one ton lump of metal around. ..
It did strike me that there might also be some application of the above penalties in the instance that inherently risky infrastructure is designed which subsequently leads cyclists into danger. CS2 has had the finger pointed at it recently.
