Cyclists squeezing past a bus at Camberwell Green

As reported here …. https://www.facebook.com/groups/LondonCycling/  there is danger at the oval.

Our intrepid Francis  headed down there with TFL and this is the result ……….

“All thanks to Charlie and others for info.  We had a meeting today with Tfl about safety concerns  Southbound Brixton Road. They are looking into see what can be done.

Current layout is not the final design.  I note the following feedback from cyclists I’ve met on site and others:

  • segregated cycle track does not allow access to the current ASL at lights
  • Cyclists have difficulty moving into the appropriate lane position before entering the junction to go “straight ahead” (cyclists observed hand signalling right to go straight ahead).
  • “left turning” vehicles are cutting across cyclists whilst cyclist change lanes to go  “straight over” the junction.
  • Confusing (existing) white line markings may give drivers the impression that cyclists travel towards Camberwell New Rd only (blacken out?).
  • Could better advanced warning signage for temp layout be used (merging signs?)
