| These are temporary pop-up lanes. Stop railing about any change and an experiment and make the difference by making sure you give helpful and constructive feedback. We are not on about the on going disable access in buildings and transport. It’s about the here and now with LBOH Curtailing a disabled wheel chair user from getting to work in a wheel chair or visiting family. Yes London black cabs do stop in the middle of the road, but mainly for a led body people. I think if a black cab stopped on the only carriageway for vehicles, to extend their wheel chair ramps and get a wheel chair user in the cab , I think WW3 would break out from the other drivers. Also the wheelchair user would have to cross a two way cycle lane to get to the cab in the first place. The video on the fist post demonstrates the problems in London, it’s seems the fix out the moment is for a wheelchair user pushes themselves a few roads further Out of their way to find a street where they can wait on the pavements. With Chiswick High Road , that would mean finding a side road with space to call a cab. But due to CPZ’s and new traffic measures These are a very rare sight. Plus Taxis are being stoped from driving through local streets as they would be treated as a rat runner. So LBOH you have hindered the regular wheelchair user from travelling. |
