Cycle Super-Highways

Was the guy in blue chasing the other car, and why did you blank the number plate out?

No, he was just trying to cross the road.

I'm not sure the occupants were the types who would take kindly to their VRN being posted on the internet.

As you can see, even the raised table segregation will not stop determined motorists swopping lanes.

LOL, I think you take excessive care. They're posting it all over the road every time they drive it, and as an image it's not exactly searchable anyway.

but at least it should slow them down.

It certainly will.

Still no work at Stockwell that will help cyclists going straight ahead when heading towards Clapham. I always found this more problematic than going north towards Kennington.

You're probably right, but I'm not really interested in naming and shaming drivers for minor transgressions.

Horrific eyesore Limehouse cycle highway came out of the blue

.. and the cars and vans parked all over the place are not eyesores?

However, the blue splodges are a bit confusing. Fortunately, not much m/v traffic uses Narrow Street (well, not at 07:30 when I'm bowling along it).

They're ostensibly route identifiers (sort of like roundels, but squarish!) that raise the profile of cycling and awareness of cyclists. They're put in when it's too narrow or the road conditions don't "suit" a blue lane.

I like them as they're in the centre of the lane and they don't constrain cyclists in the same way that cycle lanes do.

Ahh, just what I thought would happen!

It's considerably harder to overtake on this stretch now.

At 18 secs you can see Spice Village - they do a great ginger curry and fantastic masala fish...
