London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Submission Document
Representation ID: 32091
Received: 22/03/2013
Respondent: Mr Tom Clark
Due to high cyclist casualty rates in Southend, all routes should be segregated and independent of road network. Cycle routes should be given priority over roads at key intersections/Danger spots. At the moment, cycle routes are fragmented, not well integrated and involve much waiting in order to cross roads. In short, they always play second fiddle to requirements of the car, which is a dis-incentive for people to cycle because of perceived danger and difficulites in crossing roads.
