Modern methods to manage traffic by linking traffic signals and information systems that respond to changing events on the street can ensure that traffic of all types runs as smoothly as possible.

I like that they even showed how Copenhagen is continually pushing for more bike space. Quick discussion of strict liability at the end too was good. I thought everyone came across really articulately - nice to see Bikeable Jo on there - I'm afraid I don't know the other Edinburgh and Glasgow folk - are they members of CCE? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12919#post-155761 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:09:22 +0000 kaputnik 155761@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Quite good actually too. They don't give Keith Brown the last word, despite his attempts to sound all positive and warm towards active transport.</p> <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0450gnf/trusadh-series-6-14-wheels-of-changecar-na-cuibhle" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0450gnf/trusadh-series-6-14-wheels-of-changecar-na-cuibhle</a></p> <p>Worth an hour of reading subtitles. </p>
