That is why in the Netherlands they are not used. What you see on the signs as „except bicycles“ is the way they move around this requirement. <br />Edashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744206281185947840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-40123492219953016712021-11-21T10:21:19.011+00:002021-11-21T10:21:19.011+00:00That's for the highway authority.

I'd maybe go so far as they have an obligation to review what they have, but that's to be tested in court I guess.The Ranty Highwaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361350433158148025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-31628994077274654112021-11-21T09:59:29.224+00:002021-11-21T09:59:29.224+00:00I am confused by the section in LTN 1/20:

Lack of clarity is concerning with the proposal to allow Local Authorities to levy penalties for going the wrong way down one-way streets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-4123771319359845952021-11-21T08:13:04.314+00:002021-11-21T08:13:04.314+00:00Police Scotland's comments will be subject to ...Police Scotland's comments will be subject to Freedom of Information; if they cannot produce it, then it doesn't exist!The Ranty Highwaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361350433158148025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-10098925273444595192021-11-20T18:32:15.797+00:002021-11-20T18:32:15.797+00:00Thank you, thank you - GoBike in Glasgow has been ...Thank you, thank you - GoBike in Glasgow has been hammering at Glasgow City Council about permitting contraflow cycling whenever they introduce yet another one-way system in parked-up residential streets. There are official statements supporting the idea, but in every specific case it proves to be impossible because of 'police advice' of which a copy is never available. We had hopes of the new CbyD, but no dice. Hoping the council's new Active Travel Strategy (nearing the end of the consultation period) will find the guts to be dogmatic about permitting contraflow.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09444268990850388981noreply@blogger.com
