In the summer edition of Highways Magazine, I get back to basics and look at getting vehicle crossings right. Too many highway authorities are not doing their job right here. Digital issue available online (signup needed). www.highwaysmagazine.co.uk

My column. There's a photo of an asphalt footway with a skinny steeply sloping entrance kerb for drivers to cross.

Do let me know if you need a plain text version.

Spotted a driver using his phone yesterday. He then pulled forward at the lights to tell me I should be wearing a helmet. Which is why the footage got uploaded to Northumbria police just now.

I don't want to sound too over-excited about this, but I might have come across the most ludicrous and nonsensical anti-cycling newspaper comment piece *ever*. Big claim, I know, but it's quite something. Mini thread - 1/

$James Innes-Smith The last thing drivers need is cyclists snitching on us to the authorities As well as scrutiny from inside and outside our cars, bicycle-mounted busybodies are policing minor infractions$

The police should act now before armies of camera-wielding snitches start coming after anyone else they deem beyond the pale: Reform voters, perhaps, or “climate deniers”.

When considering the parlous state of modern justice, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by a rise in civilians keen to enforce road regulations. Instead of “policing the streets” (the clue is in the wording), coppers remain tied to their desks, shuffling through piles of pointless “process”.

What’s effectively happened over the past couple of years is that sainted but often vengeful cyclists have been given free rein to harass drivers in the name of crime prevention.

As a result the streets have become a tinderbox of self-righteous fury with illegal scooters, questionably ridden takeaway-service mopeds and entitled Lycra loons competing for limited space. Instead of dealing with the inevitable fallout from an explosion of largely unregulated modes of transport, motorists are the ones being unfairly targeted by anyone with an axe to grind.

It’s especially galling for car owners, who must jump through all sorts of regulatory hoops before they can obtain a licence, to be lectured to by a bunch of entitled two-wheelers who don’t even have to register their vehicles, let alone sit a driving test or take out expensive insurance.

Rather than burdening motorists, authorities should introduce proper regulations around cycle and scooter use, making sure all vehicles are registered and insured. And how about punishing cyclists who continually run red lights and ride on pavements?

There is, one study estimated, 5.5 square miles of London used for on-street car parking. Rather than whinge about the massive popularity of a sustainable, healthy form of transport, boroughs could instead just do more to accommodate it.

Public reporting deters crime. We urge it for burglary, assault, fraud — so why not road danger?? Reporting helps tackle reckless driving and save lives.

I once saw somebody who queued for 45 minutes every day to drive 1/2 mile. Motonormativity is such a powerful force, I suspect for a lot of people driving and movement are seen as the same thing. Add in the influence of habits and automatic behaviour and non-car alternatives don't even register
