there shouldn't even be a debate. even at 20mph, even with the best-behaved drivers and strongest legislation possible, can anyone seriously imagine above granniesandchildren sharing the road with 100 buses and 100 hgvs an hour on the mile end road...?
terrifying for parents, but also terrifying for drivers. would anyone really want to drive a hgv surrounded by crowds of 10 yr olds on bikes?
there's no other option to protected space on some routes. so we should all be campaigning to ensure it's as well-designed as possible where it's necessary - and where there clearly is another option (through-traffic removal, in particular) we should be campaigining for that...
