Ok chaps, I've got it!
2 Stage 4 Phase controller with Triple speeds on the cycle approaches. Treat
the cycle lane as a dedicated crossing so RAG will do. Each loop pair has an
associated VMS with a flashing legend saying "FASTER" or "SLOWER" Also
queue/count on each cycle approach with a hurry call when cycle density
reaches a preset, this introducing a hurry call with no prevent and
immediate recall. This will make us all rich! Rich I tell you! They'll never
laugh at us again! My revenge wuill be sweet.....Must go Matrons
coming............

It's Friday afternoon, not April 1st
=20
Our cycling officer has just come to us with a plan for advance indicators
for cyclists on a cycle way as it approaches a toucan.
=20
It is apparently in use on the continent and gives an indication to cyclists
so that they can adjust their speed so that they can reach the toucan whilst
it is still on green.
=20
Anyone know anything about such a device? have a look at a company called
'tradeinvent'
http://www.tradeinvent.co.uk/products/bicycletraffic.php=20
=20
No rants please - We have already been through the 'how can it work with
anything but a fixed time crossing' and 'should we be getting cyclists to
speed up as they approach a conflict point with both cars and peds'
=20
I recall there being a count-down timer being made available from one signal
company that may have been used by some of you. We certainly didn't but I
suppose the concept is not hugely different - any comments on that one as
well.
