Sorry, but you'll have to point out where you addressed the question. I've just had a quick look and all I can find is you commenting on pavements where there are white lines separating pedestrians and cyclists
You assumed that I think the physical separation of the line is the important factor. That was a misunderstanding on your part. I said
"The white line makes all the difference. It says to pedestrians: "be alert, there might be bikes around. The LA has decided they are ok on this pavement. If you don't agree, take it up with the LA not the cyclist""
I used a white line as that was your example. I could equally have said
"The blue sign makes all the difference. It says to pedestrians: "be alert, there might be bikes around. The LA has decided they are ok on this pavement. If you don't agree, take it up with the LA not the cyclist""
The important factor is that something signifies the area is shared. The format is not important as long as it is understood by all parties.
You may or may not be interested to know that the reason I stepped away from the conversation before is because you consistently made similar misinterpretations of all my points, choosing to read them in a way that allowed you to refute them. I attempted to clarify things a few times but it quickly became clear the conversation would go nowhere.
I have a lot to say, but as it will trigger another time-sapping round of misdirection and disambiguation it just isn't worth the effort.
Again, I invite you to have the last word: I'm off to do something fun instead.
