Tom Jeffs @tomjeffs.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The annoying thing is that on every new scheme where crossings are placed at the start of the exit, the social media experts tell us how dangerous that is - despite that being the area where collision speeds might be lowest, and visibility highest. And also where the pedestrian desire line is. 110

Tom Jeffs @tomjeffs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It isn't an argument to not wear a helmet. On an individual level it's a good idea to wear one. It's an argument that there are more effective ways to improve cycle safety than suggesting everyone wears one - like physically separating motoring from cycling. And enforcing traffic laws properly. 030
Tom Jeffs @tomjeffs.bsky.social · 21/08/2026You appear to be from the USA, which is a very car-brained culture. In the UK our highways are quite different. Here, cyclists have a right to use the roads. Motorists do not. 120

Tom Jeffs @tomjeffs.bsky.social · 19/08/2026"I wear a seatbelt and have multiple airbags in a car to help decelerate me in an imperfectly safe manner."

Tom Jeffs @tomjeffs.bsky.social · 05/08/2026There used to be an informal crossing here maps.app.goo.gl/HkMqdfT5GyGD... but the council decided to block it with a guardrail.
