Councillor knocked off bike while riding to road safety meeting welcomes HGV measures — however, cycling safety campaign group Cyclox is concerned there could be 'loopholes' cycling
, including amendments to road markings and traffic signs, installation of road studs, bollards and cycle stands, installing light cycle lane segregation units, and vegetation clearance.Commenting on the council signing up to CLOCS, Jamie Clark of Cyclox said he is concerned the authority has only committed to"encouraging larger developments to include the more rigorous CLOCS Standard in their construction logistic plan".
"Oxford's getting safer for cyclists and we are seeing more people switch to cycling — but it's still not safe enough," she said, pointing out that HGVs represent a"small proportion of traffic, but they cause a majority of cyclist fatalities"."Where we are the contractor on an individual development, we will also make the CLOCS Standard compulsory," an Oxford City Council spokesperson said.
"That has to be done with the agreement of the planning applicant, but we believe, based on current experience with Construction Traffic Management Plans, that applicants and contractors will be more than happy to sign up.
