BAD DESIGN ENDANGERS CYCLISTS!

1. The problem is endemic in both new and old infrastructure. What is intended to make cycling safer, Instead puts cyclists in danger.
2. The government have devolved responsibility to the local authorities and although there are national design standards these cannot be imposed.
3. The local authorities have a 'duty of care' which they are not following in - a) not providing infrastructure for cyclist's safety - b) providing infrastructure which threatens the safety of cyclists. The national cycling organisations should identify the two worst instances and bring a test case.
4. Cycling UK have a website for reporting pot holes. I suggest they set one up for bad and dangerous design. 

Name and shame the offending authorities.
