Wightman Bridge Update No. 3
Attached.
Below is an image of the pedestrian/cyclist footbridge which is now in place, hanging out over the railway line alongside the foootbridge. Following the cyclist assault incident last week, note the cycle barriers.

So, it's about the cyclists' right to inconvenience and endanger pedestrians? Sounds familiar.

I had to drive over to Holloway at 8 this morning, got there & back in 25 minutes, strangely quiet.

Thanks Hugh. There's a longer read on the same subject from a local(ish) academic here:

Arguably a cyclist cycling along takes up less space than a cyclist who is pushing their bike alongside them so in that way making cyclists get off isn't the best idea. Obviously the speed has to be suitable for the situation which can be the issue.
I suspect John's issue is that the cyclists dismount signs are used to cover up issues in lack of facilities. Earlier on someone said that they'd recommended a wider temporary bridge but the solution seems to be let's make the cyclists dismount rather than implementing that.
As others have said, they're also a bit of a fudge as they are advisory signs, not enforceable.
