Some cycling safety ideas from the UK

BRATTLEBORO — London has a large bicycle commuter population, and a greater number of traffic circles, or roundabouts, than we are accustomed to in the United States.

Bikes and traffic roundabouts are never a great mix, but cyclists and motorists have to cope. An article in the Feb. 26 London Evening Standard outlined moves to improve the situation at roundabouts for cyclists.

I imagine that more details are available from London's local government transportation offices.

There might be ideas and applications in the London model(s) that could be adapted to Vermont traffic situations as The Commons continues its invaluable advocacy on behalf of Vermont cyclists and other users of non-motorized transportation.
