Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Near Miss on Cycle Lane
Sitting on the 41 bus today, alighting passengers at the Wightman Rd stop were nearly hit by a bicycle on the shared ramp. The lady cyclist had to brake so hard she lost her balance and fell against the bus. Apologies were shared, but it shows how potentially dangerous the ramps are, only an idiot could design and allow such a dangerous flaw in a shared cycle lane/pedestrian area.

It's a design blunder because cyclists like me are encouraged to think of the cycle lane as part of the highway, but clearly it isn't at bus stops where it separates passengers from the pavement.

I saw an actual collision at that spot whilst I was on the 144 on Tuesday, cyclist disregarded the stopped bus with people alighting, and knocked over a passenger.

I'm not sure of the logic of a Give Way sign, better to have SLOW marked in red on the lane, It is not the first time that I've seen idiotic planning on highways. Hopefully something will be done if there's a lawsuit for serious injury.
