The Mayor of London is planning to trial left turn on red for cyclists. No, what needs trialling (to prove the obvious) is substitution of main road priority with no priority - to provide equal opportunity for all road-users and to stimulate safe, efficient filtering. Then we won't need traffic lights, or the green wave trumpeted by the DfT. Along with amber-flashing lights at side roads, the green wave has worked in Germany for decades. As usual, the people in charge of Britain are proving quick on the uptake. - Can the claim be true that the Govt has deliberately used signals to generate congestion to maximise tax revenue? That would be another scandal to add to a bulging list.
