If in doubt when cycling take primary position to prevent drivers from overtaking when it isn’t safe.

@NoCyclopathTO If cyclists pay $5, the ave driver would owe $1.5k–$2k. Cars cause hundreds to thousands of times more damage to roads. The fourth power law. This doesn’t even account for emissions and other societal impact. Some countries even pay cyclists per km. Might need new pic!?

If every bike ride cost cyclopaths $5, we would wipe out all municipal debts in 10 years.

@MattyCholo @Bikery1966 Only motorways are specifically made for drivers

@Bikery1966 Be an asshole to cyclists for doing the indignant cyclist things instead of being an asshole to drivers for using the roadways that were specifically made for them. Nice try with the casual ignorance tho. Thanks!

Drivers will happily sit in traffic of their own making for hours every week but lose their minds if they have to slow down for 20 seconds behind a cyclist.

London Stansted Airport drop-off price rises from £7 to £10; £28 for 15-30 minutes. Greedy owners portray it as an environment friendly move. Public transport isn't always possible. It is about higher profits. No regulator will side with customers. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@hynessl Trialled in Cork, on just one bus route. 7,000 infractions in just 11 weeks. newstalk.com/moncrieff/bus-…

@visitcamberwell @SebDance @LabourMarina @Heidi_Labour That implies they only do a shift and sleep and nothing else Not a credible proposition

@ukwrightphil @SebDance @LabourMarina @Heidi_Labour Working drivers have longer shifts and, crucially, longer trips to begin their shifts. This eats into their sleep time. It’s as simple as that.

Something has to be done about bus driver tiredness due to sleep loss, thanks to congestion caused by cycle lanes and LTNs. We know scheme implementers have no conscience nor awareness of urban context. Who do we ask to act? #SaveLives @SebDance @LabourMarina @Heidi_Labour @SocEnvJustice @LondonAssembly

@bahram0666 @UB1UB2 No that’s you - only googling after having it pointed out that road tax is non existent…

@ukwrightphil @UB1UB2 Yes that’s you and most labour voters

Transport for London has just announced a trial for advanced, high-tech “stealth” speed cameras across the capital, and several West London boroughs are officially on the list. Unlike the old yellow boxes, these new cameras do NOT flash and do not require white lines painted on the road. Using advanced 4D imaging radar, a single camera can monitor speed, distance, elevation, and direction across five lanes of bi-directional traffic all at once. The trial is specifically targeting 20mph and 30mph zones across nine London boroughs: 📍 Ealing 📍 Brent 📍 Hammersmith & Fulham 📍 Haringey 📍 Tower Hamlets 📍 Havering 📍 Croydon 📍 Hackney 📍 Sutton TfL states this upgrade is “vital” for consistent enforcement and reducing road casualties. However, the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) pointed out that since average speeds in London are already below 20mph, the focus should instead be on catching drivers illegally using their mobile phones at the wheel #UB1UB2 #London #Ealing

@bahram0666 @UB1UB2 But you were saying drivers had more rights because they pay a made up tax? I agree the roads are in an awfully terrible state and it would be nice to see a comprehensive and urgent solution to reinstate them to grade A standard

@ukwrightphil @UB1UB2 Your government still collect over £7 billion and states of your roads are appalling

@CircleLineBT They close the Custom House Quay for a St Patrick’s Festival fun fare. Dublin didn’t grind to a halt. Didn’t see anything about it on socials?!?

For one week during the Fleadh, Belfast will pedestrianise the streets around City Hall. That gives us something rare - a chance to see what the city could feel like if space was designed for people, not traffic. These images show that potential 👇 If it works in August, it can work year-round.

@dublinbusnews @GardaTraffic @DubCityCouncil @dccBETA When will we prioritise our busses so we have fast, frequent & reliable public transport?

@but_cyclists It’s a clear sign the local council doesn’t value active transport or care about the lives of those cycling!! It needs repainting!

You see this symbol painted on the road in a one way street but it's pointing against the ordinary flow of traffic. What does it mean?

@bahram0666 @UB1UB2 Some people just won’t google…

@bahram0666 @UB1UB2 Noone pays road tax

@bahram0666 @UB1UB2 So it’s open Not likely to open anytime soon cos it’ll cost too much Still making assumptions I see

@ukwrightphil @UB1UB2 So it’s close to vehicles and 7yrs and still no date for opening and for sure only labour voters defending London standards

Why when @AerLingus arrive at @DublinAirport Terminal 1 rather than Terminal 2 are we forced to walk to T2 rather than exit via T1? Perhaps @AerLingus should park at the correct Terminal??

@bahram0666 @UB1UB2 I am fully appraised of the bridges status! Cyclists and pedestrians are merrily crossing the Thames at Hammersmith and have been for some time! The bridge can’t cope with modern demands and wasn’t built for such volumes… Dangerous to make assumptions about voting intentions !

@ukwrightphil @UB1UB2 No wonder your country is sinking because voters like you don’t even bother a simple google search I’m sure you are a labour !!! It would take you less than a minute to Google it before you start typing bullshit

You are five times more likely to survive being hit by a driver doing 20mph vs a driver doing 30mph. Great to see Enfield rolling out new life saving 20mph zones. Slow down. Slower speeds save lives. #VisionZeroLDN. 👏👏@EnfieldCouncil @JourneysPlaces

@GWRHelp @HeathrowExpress On 1555h PAD-HXX. Air temperature is v hot. Could do with attention…
