Maybe pedestrians ought to wear helmets and hi-viz vests all the time.<br /><br />I've undermined my point subsequently, however, by realising that cyclists' serious injury rate is much higher than pedestrians', which is a pity: http://invisiblevisibleman.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/good-life-looks-marginally-worse-thanks.html<br /><br />I do enjoy your rigorous take on safety, DFW.<br /><br />Invisible.Invisible Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942359504874275065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-84430154870321115492012-04-12T05:40:12.302-05:002012-04-12T05:40:12.302-05:00Ian's link is very interesting.

I'm not sure putting bollards up for cyclists to run into is a net improvement, and a 10% mode share would be a major change for DFW cycling, but his approach and the resulting changes would get cycling out of the "we didn't think of them" category.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-20102071387980741002012-04-12T00:26:30.039-05:002012-04-12T00:26:30.039-05:00Did you see this ?
