A rather unpopular topic in Cambridge at the moment of advanced detection=
cycle loops at Toucan crossings with nearside PDU's. Do any or have any =
of you used advanced cycle detection loops on the approaches to Toucan cr=
ossings. There are inherent problems with this. Ie. Cyclists expecting th=
e lights to change and cycling straight across the crossing area and subs=
equently being bulldozed by an approaching vehicle and also not noticing =
the display on the PDU.
The Cambridge cycling campaign banging is on about having them reinstated=
(having converted a segregated crossing where cyclists are treated as ve=
hicular traffic to a modern toucan). This crossing is also in a SCOOT reg=
ion where we obviously have the prevent period.
Does anybody have any other reasons why / why we should not have them or =
have you installed them at a modern toucan?
Thank you
