EIGHT.. Legislation and its enforcement
Conclusion
Legislation affecting motorists and other road users is always a contentious issue. But reducing dangers on the road is an important aim for anyone seeking to increase cycle use and where this can only be done through stricter enforcement or new, tougher laws, a debate must be had and difficult decisions must be made by politicians.
The Campaign would like to see...
- The law changed so that cyclists are able to turn left at some red traffic lights provided they give way to traffic and crossing pedestrians, as in Holland
- Better and stronger enforcement of existing legislation – for both motorists and cyclists
- Tougher penalties for drivers who put cyclists in danger
- A public debate on liability issues concerning collisions between cyclists and motorists
