  • Loampit Vale

    • Reference: 2015/4217
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 16 December 2015
    In response to my question on the Loampit Vale TfL consultation (2015/3569) you stated that the cycle lane was going to be removed, because it was too narrow and replaced with a 4m width traffic lane. Are you aware that traffic lanes of 4m width are contrary to long established London Cycling Design Standards, which advise strongly against lane widths of less than 4.5 metres as being unsafe for overtaking?

    In response to question 2015/3095 you stated that cycle lanes should not be less than 1.5 metres wide. Why is this half a metre less than the minimum of 2 metres recommended in the Transport Committee's 'Gearing Up' report on cycle safety?

    • Reference: 2015/4219
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 16 December 2015
    In response to my question on CIRAS introduction on TfL contractors' vehicles (2015/2538) you stated: 'CIRAS does not currently cover HGV operations'. However the Head of CIRAS recently stated: 'The work that we do is open to all UK transport operators whether it's a heavy goods vehicle, cycle schemes, river services, rail or bus and coach'. After taking so long to introduce CIRAS for TfL contracted bus services, when will you introduce CIRAS for HGVs and other vehicles contracted to TfL and Crossrail?

    In response to my question on private hire vehicles and congestion charge exemptions (2015/2535) you stated: "In the past 12 months, 94 per cent of vehicles checked were found to be correctly exempted from the Congestion Charge.
