Its only an odd tangent if you don't think people with different needs are somehow 'othered' as you have done with your list of generous exceptions. You have already made an assumption that the people you saw 'weaving in and out' (do you mean cycling?) weren't disabled and/or weren't following a non statutory sign that they are perfectly permitted to ignore. A charity yards away has been campaigning for its removal as people like you don't understand it: https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/campaign-calls-for-action-on-discrimination-against-disabled-cyclists/ Its also not recommended as being used as per TFL LCDS as being 'unnecessary, or in some way compromising wider objectives of promoting safety' Ironically, the yellow sign you have posted as an example of what could be done, is not a standard sign - as you can see it's temporary and not mandatory (indicated by the fact its in yellow and not round). It's not part of the TSRGD or the TSM. It was used on Wandsworth bridge from memory. Look forward to hearing your lobbying of Lou Haigh on the matter and of your support of Wheels for Wellbeing.

How do you propose telling a disabled cyclist to dismount?

The police actively support it in certain circumstances. Cyclists dismount signs are advisory and not compulsory aren't they - as you point out. But generally for Risk and litigation management. The signs also indicate its not 'pedestrian' space but shared space. Given the amount of planning involved and the perception of a massive budget, if it was actually an issue they would have designed it differently.

They really are living rent free in your head aren't they?

No, there's clear guidance in the highway code on it. The code you're meant to learn and keep up to date with in order to have a driving license and be responsible for a large and potentially dangerous vehicle on public roads. TfL even tell you how to deal with non commercial loading unloading and traffic wardens.

It's not a council designed sign either, and its location is most likely set by national guidelines.

Its crowd sourced content. I'm sure you are able to send in your own footage and stories.

In further Partridgisms from Rocks, i'm tickled that according to google no one has ever written the phrase "expensive looking crazy paving" on the internet before. Its a rare almost googlewhack

That's again not what confirmation bias is.

OMG when i read they were called the London Cycling Campaign, i didn't think they would actually campaign for cycling in London.

But you're reducing parents people regularly verbally abusing other parents and staff and throwing No Parking signs into a hedge to 'parking badly' to suit your Partidge-isms. The head of Dulwich Prep has written to parents to say that this behavior is unacceptable and breaks their Parent Code. I imagine a serious transgression of that code means they no longer want your business. Assaulting staff is probably on that list.

What a funny little Alan Partridge like post. You're so far down your rabbit hole that to score internet points against a twitter account you don't like, you're now appearing to excuse an untaxed vanity hire car with illegal number plates taking up space on LL.

The Judicial Review is now apparently on the consultation exercise according to their social media account

Apparently the 1000% statistic is made by comparing the accident statistics of the quieter roads that are due to be filtered and then extrapolating that to the arterial road that aren't being filtered and not applying any pro rata calculation. Its all quite bizarrely creative.

She's from Sheffield, so slightly hillier than Swaines Lane

I think the cycling touring club and the Roads Improvement Association in the late 19th century would correct you on that assumption.

"Put aside your dislike of the man and look at the positives." I had a look back at the other Tory mayoral candidates. Aside from Susan Hall, there was the unknown Moz Hussein who lost the the Tory internal vote. Mostly i assume because CCHQ couldn't dog whistle racism as a campaign technique whilst also having their own candidate named Mohammed.

Because she wasn't meant to be on the ballot. Daniel Korski was their first choice but he was added to the list of Conservative politicians accused of sexual abuse and had to step down. Interestingly that list is longer than the list of people ever convicted of voter fraud.

A bit like this: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/27/tory-staff-running-network-of-anti-ulez-facebook-groups-riddled-with-racism-and-abuse

Louisa did this so much better.

Is it that time of year again when you fall for a TomTom press release? As you were told last year, London isnt the slowest city in the world. TomTom exclude entire continents from their survey which excludes some of the largest and most traffic congested cities in the world. The average speed in inner London has been approximately 10mph for years. It's nothing to do with 20mph limits or 24/7 bus lanes. That evidence is included in the TomTom report data. Starting to think you would believe that the word gullible is being removed from the dictionary if you were told by a private company with a vested interest in selling a product that aims to avoid traffic.
