Danger at Crogsland Crossing

A warning to anyone who uses the cycle crossing over Chalk Farm Rd at the junction with Crogsland Road: the signals have been reset incorrectly. This means that northbound vehicles continue to move across the cycle track in conflict with cyclists using the green signal. It took months to persuade Camden Council to put it right last year, can they ever be trusted to keep this simple and useful crossing safe?

Motorcycles and bus lanes

The London Mayor started an 18 month trial of motorbikes in Red Routes Bus Lanes on 3rd January 2009. Details of trial and survey on TfL website - please respond. Read about our deputation to Camden Council, the Green motion and executive response.

London Cycle hire scheme

Transport for London has published its Feasibility study for a central London cycle hire scheme. We have some serious misgivings, mainly about the demand analysis, the small area proposed and the lack of understanding of the role of IT in modern cycle hire schemes. See A critique of the feasibility study. As background, read a report on experiences of using the Paris Vélib system during a metro strike in November 2007. Report on Experiences with Vélib' Paris. A report on a recent presentation by TfL on the Cycle Hire Scheme is here. Click to see on a map the proposed locations in Camden for Cycle Hire Docking Stations
