London Local Authorities and Transport for London (No. 2) Bill
Clause 28
Clause 28
deals with two general issues relating to advanced stopping areas for cyclists. The first is that technically it is an offence for a cyclist to enter the stopping area if there is no cycle lane marked on the highway that feeds into the stopping area. The clause would have the effect of clarifying that where there is an advanced stopping area but no feeder lane, then no offence is committed by cyclists who enter the stopping area at a red light signal.
If and when Royal Assent is granted for the Bill, I'm "wondering" if TFL and the London Boroughs will continue to deploy feeder lanes at ASL junctions given the longstanding problems with cyclists and HGVs.
I hope this clause is more than simply the closing of a legal loophole and TFL etc take the opportunity to examine the feeder lane/ASL concept.
