Wandsworth Bridge, London

Post by Highkicker79 »

Wandsworth bridge has a cycle path on the pavement on both sides of the bridge (as seen https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Wandsworth+Bridge,+A217/@51.464966,-0.187848,3a,75y,338.39h,61.42t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1saTlCg_YDBRIrbb2bA9WWrw!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x48760f7d81418f55:0xb7276226e2d91e4e)

The painted cycle signs on the cycle path are in the same direction as the flow of traffic on the road but are cyclists allowed to cycle in the other direction? There are some cycle paths that do allow cycling in both directions. What's the actual legal rules?

You'd have to look at the TRO (how often do we hear that about motor restrictions?) but the signs are up both ways if you look down by the fuel oil silos (although that could be for the information of pedestrians)
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Traffic Regulation Order. The bit of paper that said that they could make the cycle path, and specified exactly how it should work.

Should TROs be made online by default - and have to have reference numbers on signs?
