  1. Cycle segregatedjunctions Transport Liaison Public Meeting Wednesday 19 February 2014 Jean Dollimore Coordinator Camden Cycling Campaign Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014

  2. Cycle segregatedjunctions • Designed to eliminate ‘“left hooks” • a cyclist going straight ahead is cut off by a left turning motor vehicle • 9 out of 14 cyclist deaths in 2013 involved HGVs • most of those occurred at junctions • I plan to attempt to describe how cycle segregated junctions work • And I would like to ask TfL when they will publish the design details and support on road trials? Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014

  3. Current Situation • Green signal allows left turning motors to go at same time as straight ahead cycles and motors • causing “left hooks” • left turning motors should wait for a separate signal stage • illustration to follow.... Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014

  4. Cycle segregated junction • TfL press release published in the Evening Standard 6th Nov 2013 • How this works in detail .... Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014

  5. Stage 1:N-S for motors, cycles peds • No left turns for motors • cycles ahead • motors ahead • pedestrians cross • north and southbound Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014

  6. Stage 2:N-S turn left while E-W turn right • Straight ahead cyclists and motors wait on red signals • turning motors have green signals • If room for a separate cycle lane, cyclists could turn left Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014

  7. Stages 3 and 4 • Stage 3: • East - west straight ahead • Stage 4: • East - west turn left • North-south turn right Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014

  8. Options for cyclist left turns • Four years ago the mayor suggested exempting cyclists from stopping at lights when turning left • The cycle segregated junction was suggested independently by two people, both of whom assumed cyclists would turn left and then give way to pedestrians • this would allow pedestrians to have a long time to cross the road • alternatives... Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014

  9. Options for the cyclists left turn • Option 1: red signal stops cyclists while pedestrians cross • Option 2: pedestrians cross in a separate stage Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014

  10. Conclusions • We can separate cycle movements from conflicting movements by motor vehicles in time and in space • We suggest cycle segregated junctions at: • Midland Road/Pancras Road:T-junction • Cobden Junction: T-junctions • Midland Road/Euston Road/Judd Street • Camden High Street/Delancey Street/Pratt Street • Southampton Row/Theobalds Road/Vernon Place • Thank you for allowing me to air this idea Camden Cycling Campaign, February 2014
