Hi Joy,
Not able to answer all your questions but can give something to 1 & 2.
We have had a number of campaigns that focus on all users of shared paths, the focus on a more sharing approach from all while accepting that those who are moving faster need to be more aware of more vulnerable users. The wider messaging of not blocking a path or having a dog on a long lead was also shared to allow all users to make of these paths.
With regard to ‘safe’ use, we have supported a number of community lending libraries to give exposure to cargobikes and e-bikes alongside some cycle training. We have had focussed sessions for businesses wanting to make use of cargo bikes and the additional considerations with the weight. With regards to these two forms we see no greater risks than a normal bike, many of the e market bikes have much better brakes than standard bikes and lights as standard. Currently e-scooters remain illegal in Scotland and I for my own part hope this continues, I see no real benefit to these and certainly their eco credentials are rather suspect.
Hi Keith
It may not help your budget but without the critical mass of users that Max would see in London I have found that ASLs only work with the advance green signal for cyclists. In Edinburgh these have been installed at 3 secs prior to full signal change but I would suggest a 5 sec allows all cycle users to get to a pace. They have no been installed on all signals as yet but more on key routes.
worth a consideration.
