Does anyone have any references to hand concerning good practice when
implementing traffic calming measures? I'm particularly interested in
the effects on cyclists of road narrowing and speed cushions.
The road adjacent to the one that I live on is about to have a 20mph
speed limit applied (a good thing). In preparation for this, over the
last couple of weeks pavement build-outs have been installed, to narrow
the road. I'm not entirely happy about them, but can live with them.
This evening I was shocked to find that speed cushions had been
installed between the pavement build-outs, leaving me the choice of
riding along the middle of the road to go between the cushions, or
squeezing through the gap between the cushion and the pavement. There
was no way I was going to try riding over them.
I'm babysitting tonight, so won't have time to hunt for references. But
I'm off work tomorrow, so should have plenty of time to do some research
and write a letter.
