Title: Pedestrians and cyclists have priority on roads, says NICE
Post by: eye30 on January 10, 2019, 16:41:19

Like this bit from article.......

..... The whole economy depends on road transport. A three-piece suite can’t be delivered on a bicycle. Of course, roads should be designed to cater for all users, but not by stifling the highest-taxed drivers of cars, vans and trucks in the world, for the sake of the Lycra army.
