CYCLE BAN CREATE DANGER


THE reason p ^forward for the proposed banning of cyclists from the Clitheroe outer by-pass^ that it.is dangerous “from the cyclists’ point of view.” The in­ verted commas are mine because this quotation came from a County spokesman who was maniiestiy not a cyclist. Let me therefore p ut the cyclists’ point of view. The by-pass is 8} miles long


and it connects the Gisburn Road and the Longsight Road,


on 'which, like the by-pass there are certain .specific speed limits. At its narrowest part it is 24 feet wide, little different from the roads it connects, yet it is designated dangerous while the others which carry the same traffic arc not.

potentially dangerous, and that is why in general cyclists are the most careful of road users. It now seems that they are to be penalised, to allow the .irresponsible driver free reign, to go' even faster and cause even more havoc.’ We believe that this ban if


allowed to go through will create hazards where they. do not now exist. Due to the peculiar design of the crossing points cyclists will still have to ride on the road, in one place a matter of 400 yards. Imagine what will happen when after seeing a sign ban­ ning cyclists—-you cannot read the small print at 70—the irresponsible driver then sees one in an exemption area: He will say “Ha, he should not be here. T will teach him a lesson”, and we have .the mak­ ings of a first class accident.
