Is this thingy in the Hwy.Traffic Act. ?
wow wow wow wow wow....
Whoa someone in London been watching NJB lol
Well done for a city that can't ride a bike 4 months of the year !!!
I definitely perform a "Dutch Left" at many intersections, but I'm glad to see it formalized with the protected intersections.
Finally someone heard Not Just Bikes!! I will gladly move there if they actually implement that!! 😭😭😭🙏🙏 .
We have roundabouts too! Call us fake all you want. It's just a name...
It would be awesome if more US cities adopted this. A full, 4-sided protected pedestrian and cycling intersection. Even at major lighted crossings, most are just 3-sided crosswalks with slip lanes in all directions. The part where cyclists can CHOSE whether to use bicycle crossings or merge with traffic for a left turn is the part most people don't understand.
Tbh, a cyclist should never have to merge with traffic in a busy street. There should be separate bicycle lights at big intersections that give cyclists a separate phase. Then they can cross diagonally without danger.
Now to move the traffic lights to the nearside of the intersection.
I'm an avid cyclist. Let's stop building all these ridiculous concrete barricades and bumpers and plastic "slappers" and hectares of green paint. None of it is effective, and it's ugly. I actually prefer to ride in traffic because I'm aware and don't have a false sense of security. Sorry, but Fake London is NOT Amsterdam (yes, I've ridden a bicycle there, too). How about spending all these millions on educating kids (and adults) how to ride safely? Do you remember Bike Rodeos? Yes, I got 100% at a Rodeo as a kid, and that taught me how to ride around downtown Toronto without injury. Spend a few bucks on educating motorists, too...
Let's ignore decades of experimentation and collision statistics from a country that is known worldwide for developing the safest cycling infrastructure, where everybody and their mother feels comfortable running errands on bicycles. Instead, let's follow some guy's gut feelings about what's adequate and call it a day. Problem solved!
Vehicular cyclist detected, opinion ignored. Vehicular cycling attitudes unfortunately permeate the cycling world more often than I think, but I have to say it is very infantile and reductive to hear these arguments in the face of overwhelming data to the opposite effect.
Oh no!They "forgot" the bikers.....They have to go of the bike to go around the roundabout.So its not a roundabout for them!!
Those small curbs must be enjoyable for lory drivers
Right on reds should no longer be the default.
Shouldn't even be an option; I thought it was a stupid idea when I learned to drive in California in the mid '60s and still think it's a stupid idea almost 50 years later.
I got G-Force Electric Bike
Do you guys got Electric Bike Rack?
@notjustbikes
Not just bikes made them do this
We need these all over North America.
I appreciate that you highlighted left turns are still allowed to be handled from the left lane. I've had cars get upset because I merged into traffic to use the left turn lane, or turned left but merged back into the bike lane. We are still vehicles. Just because there are these new lanes doesn't mean cars stop sharing the road.
Can’t believe I’m just seeing this! Great video, great channel. I have had a couple incidents over the years that I would have loved to be prepared for. One time the passenger of a pickup truck threw a can at my head while they drove past me. In SPRINGBANK PARK! Let me tell you, if I had been rational enough to take a picture of the license plate, that fucker would have 100% been charged with assault!
This is a huge leap forward. I love it! 1 step to progress.
I wonder what not just bikes thinks about this
I took the Huron road route cycling and I had to use the shoulder because there was too much traffic and didnt wanna risk a collision
I wish they had this on london buses 😅
that's a street from the old Crash videos WOW
THIS IN Canada .. Whaat
no way! it makes the city more mixed now instead of car centric
This helped me prevent trouble from the LTC and the LPS, thanks!
I have lived and cycled in London for almost 50 years. I do not like these new intersections. They are visually confusing and don't work for riding as a vehicle not a pedestrian. Particularly at Ridout and Commissioners. If I am riding north wanting to turn right and the light is green, I will need to almost stop before turning. Marking the bike lanes with green lines through the intersection is much clearer. Without slowing the pace of cars through the intersection, I do not think they will have the desired effect I also think the recent separation of the bike lanes on Cheapside is a bad idea. The cars were going slower before they were put in place. Now that the cars can ignore the bikes they are going faster again. I applaud the effort to get more people riding bikes and make it safer. But new things should be tested and proven before used elsewhere. There may be some situations that are more suitable and some that are not. Like using roundabouts in neighbourhoods before main intersections.
yes i think we should look at the effects first before expanding, but have expansion plans in the works quickly
I agree. I've been a cyclist for about as long as you. Sometimes, it seems these bike lanes create more harm than good. 1) False sense of security for cyclists. 2) Motorists become confused (trust me, that happened to me recently when I was on my bike). 3) Just a plain, ugly confusing mess that works for no one. Did you know the Bicycle Signal light at Dundas and Ridout allows cars to turn left from the opposite direction? I've been almost hit more than once thinking I had clear right of way. Just. Plain. Stupid. I've ridden around downtown T.O. before there were any bike lanes and survived. Somehow, I have more difficulty dealing with bike lanes and these confusing intersections than I do just dealing with plain old traffic!
@@MrPage62 I cycle up Riidout to Dundas on my way to work. To get to Riverside W, I take the bike lane the wrong way on the west side from King to Dundas then turn left down the hill past the Gallery the wrong way to the bridge and Wharncliffe Rd. This avoids two awkward interactions with traffic. Not strictly according to the rules but much easier.
Someone get NJB on this
This video: "This bike infrastructure in London..." NJB: "I'll allow it."
he's probably mentioned these types of intersections in a hundred different videos already. The fact that some are finally appearing in London is a good thing but not something for him to make a whole video about.
Holy shit they adopted the Dutch intersection in North America. Holy mary jesus it's a miracle.
Sad thing it's not even up to dutch standards, but it's nice to see an effort being made
Thank you, London Ontario, for slowly making an effort in making the city less and less car centric. It will have great benefits in the long run.
Fake London is improving!
impossible! It's time for NJB to move back!
Setting aside the great infrastructure for a moment, the production value of this PSA was excellent! It perfectly explained the "what", "why", and "how" in a clear engaging way. This video should serve as a model for other cities trying to implement safe bike infrastructure!
Isn't this an old one ? This is dangerous for cyclists.
So, things are actually starting to change even in Jason Slaughter's cherished "fake London"! "Not just bikes" will no doubt rush to release some reaction, I guess... 😊
He probably wont release anything and just continue to complain
@@JustinJamesJeep 😂
@@JustinJamesJeep yep exactly lol
It should be mandatory that every person with a drivers license must watch at least a couple dozen of these videos 😂
That's what is done in many European countries.
We can do that. We just haven't because people don't care to fix our driver education and tests.
@@pbilk Not just education, enforcement as well. Here in Winnipeg, the city insists on putting in an INSANE number of stop signs... at which 99% of drivers DO NOT STOP, many barely even slow down. All they have done is engineered lawlessness into our daily life, to say nothing of what it does to travel time and driving efficiency. Just another of the many completely broken aspects of Canada, another western country of lies.
Always stay calm during an accident. I’ve seen cyclists start punching the car and breaking mirrors. Don’t go from the victim to the aggressor, take some real breathers
I wish these were popular in the US. Many of our streets don't even have sidewalks
They're coming, just slowly. In the PNW, Bellevue and Seattle just added their first protected intersections. Those are just the two that I'm aware of, but I know there are more being added sporadically throughout US cities.
@@LimitedWard I can think of one near me in Berkeley. Plus some other intersections that have other calming measures, like bulbouts.
come to canada
I can’t wait for the conspiracy theorists to pop up in here! I wish I could get tagged whenever a new comment pops up
Yep! This is no doubt some conspiracy from the leftist Deep State😉
My only quip about these, is the concrete islands should have a post to hit the crosswalk button. Aside from that the designs are great and the video is lovely.
Beg buttons are so annoying though
Oh the famed "Fake London" @notjustbikes
Nice video!
Fake London! as per NJB.
I hated roundabouts in France as they are everywhere, but now I hate all the intersections with stop signs 😅
European here: roundabouts are highly common in Europe and are an efficient tool but the French are just crazy: they put them everywhere. It's the opposite extreme of North America. That said, stop signs really suck and should remain an exception, when there really *is* no other way.
How about pointing out the POS in the F150, license # BW 77325, at 1:20 who broke the law by failing to wait for the pedestrians to reach the other side of the roadway before proceeding through the crosswalk.
It's fitting that I directed, filmed, and produced this video... and your call-out is appreciated because it's something like I'd do on my own channel 😆 We did quite a few takes, but people are unfortunately not great at being patient or safe 🙃
@@BenDurham Patience in london has dropped off the deep end while driving since covid.
It depends on whether these are considered crossovers, or crosswalks. Drivers must yield the entire road at crossovers, but have a much more vague "yield to pedestrians" at crosswalks. The video describes them as crosswalks, so arguably the truck didn't do anything wrong if that was the case. My two cents is that these are signed as crossovers ("stop for pedestrians" and indicator triangles) so the truck should have yielded the whole road until the pedestrians were on the sidewalk.
Best way to use a round about is sideways at speed
01:40 Why do you put cyclists amongst vehicle traffic? That is just stupid. There's all that space to build a bicycle lane next to the pedestrian path or just have a path where you can walk or cycle or crawl if you so choose. Nobody is going to walk in North America anyways. I do have to give props for using the signals correctly, unlike people in actual London (UK). There is no need to indicate "inwards" ever. There are two options for people inside the roundabout. Either they stay on that lane and drive straight or they take an exit. If they're not indicating, they're not taking the exit. Very simple.
People really struggle with roundabouts here. I think it also has to do with how small they are made here in London
No, that is just legal and perfectly acceptable. I won't walk my bicycle, so I'm always in the traffic flow with cars and the drivers just need to suck it up.
In civilized countries, they build a segregated cycle path all around the roundabout: it's best for everyone.
@@yagi3925Most European nations are civilised and cyclists usually go through roundabouts with the rest of the traffic.
@@johnnevada46 No, nations that handle it that way are just barbarians. I’m not Dutch but educate yourself about the so-called Dutch roundabouts. Civilisation is about protecting the weakest ones.
