| Yes, and a summary of the analysis from TfL can be found on page 44 of https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/cs9/user_uploads/response-to-issues-raised-cs9.pdf "Our research has found that bus stop bypasses are safe for all road users, including bus passengers. Routing cycle traffic away from the road is an effective way to create safe, attractive cycling facilities along bus routes. The risk of conflict between cycles and pedestrians has been found to be very low, while providing a dedicated crossing point for bus passengers and design features that encourage slower cycling help to make the bus stop area more comfortable for everyone to use. "Following engagement with TfL representatives from stakeholder groups such as the RNIB, Guide Dogs for the Blind, London Travel Watch, London Cycling Campaign and Living Streets, TfL recently committed to including zebra crossings at all bus stop bypasses. Depending on the layout of the footway, zebra crossings would be at the back of the bus stop bypass or one at each end. The crossings would have tactile paving and would be raised to footway level to create a flush surface." |
