Rejected petition Make cycle lane use mandatory for cyclists on roads where they are in place.

The creation of cycle lanes is for the safety and separation of those using cycles from other road users. It is common despite their introduction that these lanes are ignored by cyclists and they continue to use the general roadspace. This detracts from the large sums invested in cyclists safety.

More details

It is not uncommon to witness cyclists ignoring the delineated lanes in favor of the general roadspace.

Numerous examples of cyclists ignoring cycle lanes and traffic signals occur on a daily basis.
