[sustran] Re: Motorcycle-proof design of cycleways?

[Ian Perry]

Hi Roger,

I have seen (and photographed) an example in York (UK).  It was the same as
this one:

It was/is awful!


There are others:

I didn't come across any motorcycle/scooter barriers in the Netherlands
where scooters can be a problem on cycle paths - probably because they are
a hazard for cyclists.
