Unless there is a give way mark on the road, cars aren't supposed to cross in front of you. However I agree it can be hard for drivers to see when cycles move so much faster than pedestrians. My near accident is an example of how sharing with pedestrians is not risk free and not ideal.<br /><Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09162244617407392907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825957372675897778.post-63886500374019961422016-01-28T02:10:00.863-08:002016-01-28T02:10:00.863-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878445665602113587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825957372675897778.post-9579355909313626382016-01-28T02:09:46.202-08:002016-01-28T02:09:46.202-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878445665602113587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825957372675897778.post-66004355470361984422016-01-28T02:09:18.458-08:002016-01-28T02:09:18.458-08:00All commercial car parks that exit via a shared fo...All commercial car parks that exit via a shared footpath/cycle way should be clearly signed. A pedestrian isn't likely to walk across if a car is coming in or out, cyclists must observe similarly. Drivers will see a pedestrian as long as view isn't obstructed, will they see a fast moving cyclist when view is restricted? Signage for both and care is the answer.<br /><br />When bus and car Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08878445665602113587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825957372675897778.post-67317804125658552952016-01-28T01:42:31.779-08:002016-01-28T01:42:31.779-08:00Where traffic lights are staggered they take that ...Where traffic lights are staggered they take that much longer to cycle and I question whether this is necessary.

It wasn't a danger zone and now causes very long delays as it has the addition of pedestrian controlled add-on now also.
