Fixed Penalty Notice

[MontyVeda]

nothing stupid there... the no cycling sign will be there for a reason.

 

[Leodis]

Just the bus lane. Was expecting to get done for both.

Very naughty, least thats a few more library books for poor old Timothy.

 

[ianrauk]

Nope. I will continue to use this route.

Then expect no empathy or sympathy from others for willingly flouting the law. It doesn't take much to find an alternative, safe route in London.

Is that junction of Bloomsbury Way/Southampton Row?

If so, you can very easily/legally/safely go beyond and up Great Russell St slightly further up on the left. Its only a few meters beyond and depending where you are utlimtaely heading, really not that much out of your way.

Come on, you can't expect folk to go the LONG way round can you ? Ooops.

Im quite sure the funds generated through fines would not even cover those officers' wages for the day.

Hardly a revenue earner.

[QUOTE 2553981, member: 30090"]That aside why is that particular bit of bus lane prohibited from being ridden on by bicycles - any ideas anyone?[/quote]
Well, based on the number of cyclists I see squeezing past teh buses waiting at the lights between metal railings, probably for thier own safety!

his is based on the cyclist coming from the right at that clip and effectively going straight on where the OP was caught turning left.

I don't see any issue here. Its clearly signposted that you cant go there but you still did and got caught doing it. The police were very polite about it and made for a good interaction and showed them in a good light.
If you think its a silly revenue generating scheme then the answer is simple. Don't do it and you wont be affected by it *shocker*.
You didn't get a ticket for it but you also when through a red light. hmm......
In all

 

[Leodis]

I am more shocked at the RLJ, poor form.

 

[fossyant]

Argh, I actualy thought Cycling Dan's response was great - got a "like" from me.

Lock me up.

Good thing I'm not.

 

[Markymark]

Yeah, no excuses. I work/cycle around there all the time. Plenty of safe alternatives that are barefly a few hundred meters more. The route I suggest up passed the British Museum is lovely as I think that buildng is great!
