A beer truck delivers a bunch of beer to a football (I'm guessing this means association football, AKA soccer) stadium in Assen once a week, found this because of David Hembrow, via a cycle path.

I feel like TfL's cycle tracks are very stop-start (a lot like the rubbish CS2 upgrade) and don't 'flow' around the junction. Yours are easy to understand and 'flow' much, much better. <br /><br />I think you're spot on that the main issue holding TfL back now is pedestrian crossings. Apparently they claim you can't have a zebra crossing across a cycle track, although I assume that's changing with the new TSRGD. Saying that, other local authorities seem to have managed to do it. Even if they did have zebras though, they would probably insist that they're staggered with signalised crossings, which would mean a lot of extra space would be needed at the junction to provide the pointless staggers. I guarantee you that, if they did a trial, pedestrians would not be confused about an in-line zebra and signalised crossing!adohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517138595327973266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756536529783179164.post-83506481447891170962015-11-30T22:34:01.639+00:002015-11-30T22:34:01.639+00:00So, whilst on @rantyhighwayman's tour on Satur...So, whilst on @rantyhighwayman's tour on Saturday, I noted the footways on the Bridge (but particularly at the corner of Embankment/Westminster Bridge) were not coping with the sheer volume of pedestrians<br /><br />The bridge needs more footway space. To do this, I'd propose being radical and making the motor traffic part of the bridge bus & taxi only.<br /><br />This would change considerably the Bridge arm of the junctionAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06817806128052425511noreply@blogger.com
