First point: As far as I can see, the "cycle lanes" on Sauchiehall St are not fully segregated lanes, but shared cycle & pedestrian lanes. The HWC says that cycle lanes are marked by a painted white line, which Sauchiehall Street does not have. Maybe poor council planning, but the lack of white lines means this path probably does not meet the full legal criteria of "cycle path only".
Second point: Irregardless of whether it's a full cycle path or not, under the HWC and RTA pedestrians **always** have the right of way. To say "The only cunts that should be using the cycle lane are the cyclists" is like a motorist saying "The only cunts that should be using the road are the drivers". Pedestrians can walk wherever the hell they like and the bike and car just need to put up with it. Peds have right of way in every situation.. |
