That bollard is made of strong stuff! And what was the driver of that massive truck even doing thinking of going down Dumbarton road? Sat nav over common sense I guess?

I remember when that speed table and extended kerb section first went in. It had taller reflective bollards and there were litter bins and Sheffield stand bike racks too. It got wiped out bit by bit by rat-running vehicles and there were often sad-looking bent bikes around. The badass bell bollard is normally a solution of last resort, designed to deflect HGV tyres.You can see how the old kerbline could be misleading to people not paying attention.

Only a rat run as an exit I guess, and a right turn out of it.I remember when that speed table and extended kerb section first went in.

Interestingly, the St Saviour's Rd turning just down the hill was done at the same time and it still has all its original street furniture. Far less of an obvious rat run though.
Anyone got a figure for the amount of people killed by cyclists every year?Rishi's gonna get you lot!
Cyclists who kill face tougher jail terms after crackdown on 'legal loophole'
A "death by dangerous cycling" law is being planned by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps who has reportedly said that current legislation is "archaic" and a legal loophole needs to be closed
Well remembered - looking at streetview the tall bollard lasted about a year and the bike racks two. Bloody depressing.I remember when that speed table and extended kerb section first went in.

More than I though, actually.
I've been voting since 1997. I get it.Facts don't come into it.
Well I hope you voted for me in 2014 then, Geography permitting.I've been voting since 1997. I get it.
Nah, I was in Reading, used to cycle to work on the path by the stadium. Didn't kill anyone, to my knowledge.Well I hope you voted for me in 2014 then, Geography permitting.
On average 3 a year....Anyone got a figure for the amount of people killed by cyclists every year?
Post in thread 'Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.'Anyone got a figure for the amount of people killed by cyclists every year?
Yep - guess it’s a mixture of bad driving & vehicles with poor visibility. It’s a dangerous rat run and makes that junction very bad for pedestrians & cyclists.
Here’s the greatest “hits”!

Yeah - years ago now. I recall it was all connected to the removal of the gyratory around St Matthews and several turnings off Brixton Hill were done at once to the same spec. I lived right next to one while it was going in.Well remembered - looking at streetview the tall bollard lasted about a year and the bike racks two. Bloody depressing.

I very much doubt he has. Most Onsies seem to have very little knowledge of our local areas (subtweeting chowce5382) presumably because they drive everywhere.I wonder if he's ever actually been there, the idiot.
Too busy wanking over Liz Truss.Strong support for it in the consultation which is great as it was presented by many as one with more opposition.

Anyone know what OneLambeth’s reaction is? Not even sure any of them have noticed. Perhaps they’ve all starting realising that LTNs just make sense.
That is a surprisingly positive result. I no longer live in Ferndale so not really sure what people do/think there about it but walking through/past it and reading stuff online made me think it was pretty unpopular. Turns out not I guess
