I honestly believe no traffic engineer should be allowed anywhere near
designing cycle facilities until he or she has used a pedal cycle as their
*only* form of transport for a minimum of a year, in all weathers... and then
they should have to spend at least six months of the year where the bike is
their only form of transport...


A few years ago they implemented a disastrous one-way system in St
Albans. It was dismantled after a few weeks. The word on the street
was that the traffic engineer who designed it couldn't drive. I think
the principle is similar
