Meant ROSPA.

Years ago at school, we went to ROSPER in Kensington, about road safety. Perhaps some of the designers of our road safety should have a few lessons.
My lay person's understanding js that it needs the zigzag lines and Belisha beacons to be a Zebra crossing. Will a lawyer give some pro bono advice or are they waiting for the first incident to occur to get their next pay cheque? :-)

Should a predestrian be knocked down I suspect that the crossing does not meet the specifications of a zebra crossing and hence this could become a legal nightmare for any prosecution civil or public.Just my observations as a lay person but it would be interesting to get a professional view.

A bit of "Aussie logic" you go from your farm on your fold up bike, fold it up and board the bus to the city, transport whilst in the city then back home (allowing you to leave your horse in ythe paddock)

A bit like Kingston Hill, don't look to see if a bus is coming , because if you lean forward your minus your head.

They have moved the actual stop about 10 yards and you can just see a sort of zebra crossing across the bike lane for those boarding buses. Passed this spot today ( in colliers wood) and protective plastic bollards now installed but you still have to cross the bike lane. And bikes reluctant to stop for red lights never mind a makeshift crossing

Absolutely crazy to have it in front of the bus shelter. How are passengers meant to embark/disembark.

This crazy scheme runs the length if the a24 fom Balham to Colliers Wood. Worst is that a lane has been set out in noth directions with physical barriers for cyclists meaning that any ambulances heading for st George's cannot pass standing traffic as cars cant get ouf of the way. Maybe well intentioned but designed by a child.
Handy when it rains, will give cyclists some shelter from the rain!

I think the arrangement is similar to some tram stops in Amsterdam. However, the cycle path should go behind the bus shelter not between it and the bus to allow uninterrupted boarding and disembarking of passengers between the shelter and bus. I think the objective of this arrangement is to avoid buses having to pull across the cycle path when arriving and leaving the stop.

Ignoring the shelter - the logic of undertaking a bus that has stopped to enable passengers to board and depart is just crazy.

Forgot to add that I saw this photograph on Nextdoor; it was posted by Vic Condon, thank you!
