However a number of other cities ban HGVs during peak commuting times or and force them to change their delivery routines so, for example, HGVs deliver to a distribution centre then smaller vehicles deliver to shops. If you put lots of people and large dangerous vehicles with known design flaws in close proximity without separation in time or space then people will be killed. It is like someone juggling chainsaws in the middle of a crowd. Training is all very well but the one thing you can 100% guarantee about people no matter how much training they have is they will make mistakes and it shouldn't be the case that a single mistake by a driver or cyclist will kill someone. Other modes of transport assume that people will make mistakes and try to design the system so a single human error won't kill someone. However on the roads it somehow seems to be treated as normal and inevitable that people are killed. |
