Traffic faces ban from notorious Bank junction after cyclist YingTao, 26, killed
Lorries, cars and taxis are set to be banned from one of London’s most
notorious junctions during the day. The City of London Corporation today confirmed that it planned to press ahead with an 18-month trial of a 7am to 7pm ban at Bank from April in an attempt to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The move follows the death in June last year of Oxford and Cambridge graduate Ying Tao, 26, who was hit by a turning HGV as she cycled to work. A total of 34 cyclists and 31 pedestrians were injured in the 7am-7pm period between 2011 and last year and City experts predict the move could cut casualties by 50 to 60 per cent. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/trans...-a3410521.html |

If it was there before motor vehicles then there can be no possible objection. |

Make the junction handle cars, don't remove them and go back to 18th century vehicles. -- I was doing some remolishments to my house the other day and accidentally defurbished it. |

Nugent thinks that any public thoroughfare that has "foot" in it's title should be off limits to cyclists for ever and ever, Amen. Motorists, OTOH should be allowed to drive wherever they like, whenever they like, however they like. Even if a road was built solely for horses such as the numerous Mews streets in London. |

You "think" that mews (alleyways rather than streets) were built solely for horses, do you? |
