Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by John Pugh (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 30 March 2017 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


National Road Safety Targets

Question

Following on from that question, what plans does the Minister have to address the issue of cyclists ignoring not only traffic lights but pedestrian crossings? This has now become a major problem in central London.

Answer

That comes down to activity undertaken to enforce the rules and to educating cyclists about the importance of following road safety directions. I am aware of cyclists who go through red lights. It is unsafe. It is part of our THINK! education campaign to help cyclists to know what is good behaviour on our roads.
