Camden leads where Hackney fails.
Pembury Junction redesign should have separate cycle track. @hackneylcc.bsky.social gave indicative, fully specced designs.
Camden show (at York Way & Agar Grove junction) they know how to build-in safety, whereas Hackney wouldn't.
@sarahwoodberrydown.bsky.social
Four road intersection design specs with separate cycle track included.

The situation on cycleway 1 at Whitmore Road is just completely unworkable and it is a travesty the Hoxton LTN hasn’t been designed to fix this. There is *far* too much motor traffic for these cycle flows. Someone is going to get hurt. @sarahwoodberrydown.bsky.social @hackneylcc.bsky.social

The very stretch of road @carolinerussell.bsky.social talked about - 1 woman dead, 3 loosing limbs, all just wanting to get about by bike - has been top of our campaigns for YEARS.

Nothing being done.

@london.gov.uk @islington-council.bsky.social

How about it ?

More cyclists, even wobbly ones, a good thing!

A surge in 'strikelists' on the commute this week means some folk will continue cycling when strike is over - but "exposes the lack of capacity for cycling in London" says our Head of Campaigns @psimonk.bsky.social

Some of London's most dangerous junctions are at side roads where lots of people cycle past lots of drivers turning. The answer, as we told Global Cycling Network recently, is often LTNs. Now @active-ata.bsky.social evidence: removing cut-through motor traffic saves lives bsky.app/profile/find...

All of the planned bus gate + one-way changes for the Chatsworth Rd LN have begun.

My favourite bit of it is the western section of Clifden Rd. Its one-way has been reversed (+ has contraflow cycling).

Fill in the Shoreditch High Street consultation:
haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/shoreditch-h...

TfL seems unwilling to create proper protected junctions for cycling. Best practices elsewhere in the UK demonstrate an inclusive approach.
LCC's detailed response: lcc.org.uk/news/shoredi...

Closes 25/09
Shoreditch High Street: Not Safe Enough, Sadiq
New plans for Shoreditch High Street’s nastiest junctions are a big improvement on the last lot, but nowhere near good enough. Take action today...

Hackney Downs Quietway
Support new crossings for pedestrians & cyclists to connect London Fields with the Dalston LN.
Suggest:
- reducing traffic on Navarino Rd
- chicanes on cycle tracks from Sigdon Rd/Spurstow Tce are unnecessary

Consultation to support: the Dalston LN scheme would substantially improve walking & cycling.
But, the proposed filters would leave a route open for through-traffic from Cecilla Rd to Montague Rd, and the scheme should be adjusted to address this.
