The Council has been sent this sticker to consider. It will be discussed at next CycleForum.

What do you think of it?

Should SCC recommend this to lorry fleet operators in Sheffield?

It’s come from a consultant who is working on the Construction LOgistics and Cyclist Safety (CLOCS) project for Transport for London.

The design has now been endorsed by the London Cycle Campaign, CTC and Roadpeace and they are currently working with IOSH (Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) to get their endorsement too.

Myself I think it is OK and if LCC and CTC have endorsed it then I’ll go with that.

Pedal Ready have said:

1. It could still be dangerous to undertake even if the vehicle is not turning (or driver has forgotten to indicate) but the vehicle deviates from a line when it starts moving. The warning could be read as implicitly saying it’s okay to undertake if there is no indicator.

2. A solution might be to take the indicator sign off the warning.

3. Rather than ‘stay back’ should the wording be ‘don’t undertake’.
