Issue
Inwood Road and Kingsley Road
Action
Residents have expressed concerns over cyclists on pavements, running red traffic lights, not alerting their presence with bells, and generally cycling dangerously in pedestrianised areas.
The Hounslow Central and East wards include vicinities around the Hounslow Town Centre and include areas of high footfall throughout the day and night. There are a vast number of shops, restaurants, and transport networks, and we see a big presence of delivery riders on both cycles and mopeds.
Pedal Bicycles (Safety) Regulations 2010 - Bicycles must be sold with a bell, though bells do not have to be fitted to a bike thereafter. We want to encourage the installation and utilisation of bells.
Unless there are cycle lanes which you would prefer to use, cyclists should always use the roads. This is because they are a lot faster than pedestrians, which makes them a hazard to them.
