- Hello Martin. Looking forward to following your Blog. I am an academic researcher and I'm currently supervising an MSc Urban Design student studying shared space in the Netherlands (Haren) and UK (Ashford) - a cross-cultural study of attitudes to shared space amongst cycle users. He will shortly be arriving back from his fieldwork and I'm keen to find out his results which I will encourage him to publish. Bye for now.

- That's what's good about life. Each to their own. My companion of 40 years in August swears she would sever the relationship were it ever to come off. Having said that, it did about 10 years ago and she said it was like sleeping with a new man.She quickly added she preferred the old one! Good to banter. I will add something constructive soon, but not tonight.
Best

- Why thank you, young sir!
maybe something for you to consider. Might give you an extra air of authority!

- Sounds familiar. The traffic control industry and councils, drugs companies and the medical profession - is there an analogy here?

Rick Lawrence said… - Thanks for the BIG welcome! It's great to be doing something with you after all these years. I can certainly report that, here in the colonies, we have the same issues. I think that 2 or 3 years ago, the City of Vancouver purchased a very large number of traffic lights at a surplus traffic light auction and has been busy ever since finding new places to put them.

Great site-check out Jenni Russell's article in yesterday's Guardian (4th Feb) about how regulation is damaging our society
