Cycle Infrastructure Design
DfT have come up with a new set of recommendations:
http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roads/tpm/ltnotes/ltn208.pdf which at first sight look remarkably sensible : At pinch points : "in the absence of a cycle bypass) a minimum gap of 4 metres is recommended unless additional features to significantly reduce motor vehicle speeds are incorporated" END marking and the END OF ROUTE sign are often provided unnecessarily. The CYCLISTS DISMOUNT sign is another overused sign. On a well designed cycle facility, it is very rarely appropriate. Now we only have to get traffic engineers to read them !
