Police trace lorry after cyclist killed in hit-and-run crash at London’s Battersea Bridge Fatal crash comes 18 months after local residents called for “immediate” action to make bridge and its approaches safer for vulnerable road users cycling
After fare revenues plummeted following the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, TfL had to rely on short-term bailouts from central government to be able to continue to provide its core services and as a result was forced to suspend its ongoing efforts to make London’s junctions safer.
“Junctions are where most serious and fatal collisions with those walking and cycling happen. They are the single biggest risk to lives, and the single biggest barrier to more people cycling and walking – particularly to those most put off by hostile road design such as children and parents. “What TfL and DfT call ‘critical issues’ at junctions must be addressed to ensure that every arm of each junction is safe to cycle or walk through.
