The ideal Christmas present for your local highways engineer.
The royalties come to Warrington Cycle Campaign - and the book itself is campaign material.

Or perhaps they were. Not having seen the book, I don't know. But I reckon you could fill all the books in the British Library with examples from around the country.

This avoids a possible impediment to the flow of motor traffic through the "traffic calming" measure. No, you couldn't make it up, but can you see any other reason for them?
You're on the right lines. It pointless publishing this for the benefit of those who know. Sending it to "every politrickian and highway engineer" won't do anything much either; it will be filed and lost.

Better to give them copies of Making Space for Cycling (print copies should be at the CN/CUK conference 19 November, St Albans) or even the Sustrans design manual... better yet, http://www.writeToThem.com to your MP and suggest that some decent standard should be mandatory instead of keeping repeating the mistake of issuing weak poor guidance and leaving it to local councils to screw up.

Anyone know it?
It even has this facility for cyclists in the middle of the junction
