As are the forum's jaywalkers, sorry, pedestrians Michael

I can accept your reading of that Michael and I admit I had similar misgivings about how it could come across. My own take on it is that it is alluding to what I think may need to become a more seriously considered option - greater sharing of non-road space by pedestrians and cyclists where appropriate. They are the most vulnerable groups of road users and the groups that, based on statistics, cause less deaths and injuries. One of those groups enjoys quite a bit of protection through segregation (pavements) while the other has a small amount of protection through segregation (some bike lanes - although most allow pedestrians and drivers to legally encroach on them). There is limited space available on the roads and pavements so it isn't an easy nut to crack but there is scope for improvement.

While the thread is active, did anyone see those 'cycle-friendly' roundabouts in the news recently? They look terrifying (see 2 minutes in to the video)!
