@ChaponaBike123 @Cbslpg @roadcc In the end use, HC Rule 147 for all users Be patient remember anyone can make a mistake don't allow yourself to become agitated or involved if someone is behaving badly on the road Slow down, hold back if a road user pulls out into your path at a junction. Allow them to get clear

@ChaponaBike123 @Cbslpg @roadcc They do, when someone is walking across it they have precedence of the full length. The reason is people take cues from other people at crossings, this avoids accidents if bikes, busses, drivers are stopped. Everyone around knows the crossing is in use somewhere.

So. Who's at fault here? A) The cyclist, for cycling along a cycle path. B) The driver of the red car, for cutting across it, without appearing to note there was a cyclist on it. What the police thought, might surprise you.

@ChaponaBike123 @Cbslpg @roadcc It would be better if the raised knobbles where also between the car and crossing to remind drivers not to cross earlier, also a big cycle symbol in the middle of the turn in as another reminder. No doubt some just cut in whatever is happening.

@ChaponaBike123 @Cbslpg @roadcc It would be deemed a 'safe gap in the flow' as the cyclist should now be stopped with no way forward. I don't see how you cannot see that. That zebra crossing is the same as a red light when someone is on it until they step off it.

@Cbslpg @ChaponaBike123 @roadcc Compared to when we get cut up, this is luxury and safe.

@Cbslpg @ChaponaBike123 @roadcc These being the important parts, clearly cyclist cannot advance, will be stopped. Safe to turn in and wait for the people to clear route. Cyclist can easily see what's happening.

@dac3uk @tony_eh Yes a shared use path, not a cycle lane.. At the speeds he's travelling it is recommended (or at least used to be) not to use them, they are no designed for it. They are designed for pootling along.

@tony_eh Sorry - it seems to be one of these.

Don't you just hate it when the slower traffic, sitting two abreast, deliberately blocking the road, refuse to move out of the way. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@adamjennison @KomkovSergej You can then pop to the cabins (keldy) down the road next to it, grab something to eat and go for another walk/bike.

@KomkovSergej Next time you visit pop along to this place.. maps.app.goo.gl/Hir3LY3u2fUmWC… It's rarely visited but an amazing evocative place full of history, you can imagine the Romans standing guard.. 🙂

Day 2 in the North Yorkshire Moors 🙂 and we are back home now ! But that place . . . We definitely will be back again ♥️ and again !

@UKgrids @Hullccnews At least HCC know what a cycle is, the ERYC haven't seen one before.

It would be useful if @Hullccnews had a few plans in place that they would benefit from some funding. But no, they've yet to start consulting on the LCWIP and probably won't have it done until after the funding is released.

@UKgrids @HullCamGuy @Hullccnews I guess their multistory carpark they own is too far. At the other side of the garden. Personal that street was an great place for us with a wheelchair. It is quiet, large spaces and easy access all around the car. Make all the new spots accessible parking only.

@HullCamGuy @Hullccnews Maybe because it is outside the @Hullccnews office is why car parking is prioritised for their convenience. But the probably more likely reason is @Hullccnews's general devotion to cars.

From edge to edge, Guildhall Rd is 21m across. But despite spending £21M on Queen's Gardens @Hullccnews couldn't find any space to put in any suitable cycle infrastructure. 2 lanes for car parking, but zero for cycles. If we're lucky we'll get 2 Sheffield stands out of it.

@UKgrids @Hullccnews I thought the cycling lane was turned into a path and takes half the white area now. It was shown to be (with tiny cars) single lane, building side to have chevron style parking.

@TaraTeacher1 @BeckyMarie80 @TTRadioOfficial It is PPA they cannot direct you to cover the lesson, so a non issue. SLT need to find another method to support illness.

@BeckyMarie80 @TTRadioOfficial How do you cover sudden cover needs? Teachers getting sick and their class needing support - is that an issue with PPA at home?

Bridget Phillipson: "We will also clarify the position on PPA time so schools are clear that teachers can use this time at home to provide greater flexibility for teachers"

The display in @makerspacehull is always interesting

@azb2019 @BrightLitegames @CyclingLawLDN Does that matter when it's used in court for evidence they didn't close pass. Police say it's ok here, they know best. I'll use that as my guide ;-).

Any idea what’s wrong with this photo?

@luton_paul @azb2019 @CyclingLawLDN Maybe for you, work on 800mm for width, many bars are that wide and elbow to elbow for a relaxed ride will be that even with narrower bars. And that's to the car wheel, my cars and probably that car is 30cm extra on so make it that. So call it 70cm off that 150cm. Still luxury.

@azb2019 @CyclingLawLDN That seems to be the standard. It does give a true clearance of about 1.3 m which is a lot better than the 10cm that one is often given.

@BobFromAccounts Either scrap the cycle give way markings (and that bollard!) and zebra the cycle crossing/alternative markings. There is cognative overload when approaching it in a car. (and probably a cycle). Make it clear and obvious. Maybe a small bump in the road too to wake drivers up.

@BobFromAccounts But the bikers are told to give way and have entry, so they are att he crossing junction. Drivers have no give way sign. I know as both I would stop as a cyclist and drive through unless someone on the zebra crossing as the marking seem to show.

Dear Drivers RE: Parallel Crossings, introduced in the UK in 2015. (like this new one on the border of Hackney & Islington) You must give way & slow down. No ifs, no buts as per the Highway Code. Please do not just plough on through regardless. Thanks Pedestrians & Cyclists
