On the bike I have far more occasions of encountering pedestrians in the wrong place than I have when I am a pedestrian and encountering cyclists in the wrong place. So what? In what way does that address the issue of cyclists disobeying traffic law? You know full well that there is no USA-style "jaywalking" law in the UK. Pedestrians (that's all of us) are free, however ill-advisedly, to cross an all-purpose carriageway wherever we like. As a pedestrian I know that motor vehicles are the greatest threat. It is remarkable how people will scurry away from a motor vehicle without further thought but wander casually in front of a cyclist and expect the cyclist to do something about it. Does that mean that cyclists are allowed to pass through red traffic lights? Does *anything* mean that cyclists are allowed to pass through red traffic lights? Give over with the attempted diversion. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

What do you say the traffic lights at that exact location are for, other than to allow pedestrians to cross the road in safety? Are cyclists allowed to ignore red traffic lights at that or any other set of signals? It's taken several posts to put the issue of pedestrian lights to bed. Do not move the goalposts. A simple "yes" or "No" would be ideal in response that that second part. It is not a simple yes or no. Using the roads always requires ca being dead but right doesn't work. Yes, the criminal cyclist dismounted from his steed and was on his feet when he committed the crime of assault. So what? When the offender appears in court on a charge of assault will the court treat him differently to any other common criminal? |
