Scotland shouldn't lag behind Wales, surely? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8307#post-83075 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 13:50:35 +0000 Morningsider 83075@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Truly, we are living in the cycling dark ages in Scotland. Have a look at the Health and Bike Friendly School Roads document if you don't believe me:</p> <p><a href="http://www.cancer.dk/NR/rdonlyres/3361A240-0235-47A9-A2A7-4067767AE8DB/0/Healthyandbicyclefriendlyschoolroads.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.cancer.dk/NR/rdonlyres/3361A240-0235-47A9-A2A7-4067767AE8DB/0/Healthyandbicyclefriendlyschoolroads.pdf</a></p> <p>The law was changed in Denmark (in 1976!) to state:</p> <p>“It is incumbent on the police and road authorities, in<br /> consultation with the schools, to implement measures to<br /> protect children from the dangers of vehicular traffic on their way to and from school.”</p> <p>1976! There is no such requirement in Scottish law today. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8307#post-83056 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:31:33 +0000 chdot 83056@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=130b11b8c366ed4e965734d35&amp;id=7ba893c35f">August</a> </p>
