This is what our President who is blind said about the bus stop design where you step off the bus onto a narrow bus boarder next to a cycle lane on Lea Bridge Road, Waltham Forest
‘Not fit for purpose. It really is totally inaccessible. These sorts of designs should be scrapped’

Please stop riding through red lights when pedestrians have the green man to cross the road. These crossings have rotating cones underneath the push button box to alert blind people when it’s safe to cross & it’s not safe when people ride through them on a red light at any speed.

Farringdon Street by the Italian Embassy, London. It’s a 2-way cycle lane bus stop bypass. Cyclists are seen not stopping for pedestrians at zebra crossing & riding over it while pedestrians are crossing. When some did stop, 1 carried on past 2 pedestrians on the zebra crossing.

Absolutely shocking design. Needs to be removed. The bus needs to be able to pull directly up to the kerb to allow passengers to get on and off the bus from the pavement without having to step into or cross a cycle lane first.

@MayorofLondon @SadiqKhan no more studies will change this behaviour at floating bus stops in London. More are being planned, constructed & made permanent. Our petition, our concerns & our access needs are still being ignored. This is blatant discrimination. It has to stop please

New bus stops in #LeithWalk Edinburgh are not safe for blind people as Sandy explains ‘How can they approve these designs? It’s totally confusing to any blind person. I wouldn’t come here independently. It’s totally inaccessible to people like me. I just find it unbelievably bad’

.@MayorofLondon Discrimination has no place in London and this includes in the built environment. This has to stop please.
‘The tragedy is that visually impaired people are ending up at the bottom of the pile & are designed out of the environment’ Andrews words about a pavement-less bus stop on the new Lea Bridge Road cycle lane in London. @LouHaigh @simonlightwood we need urgent help on this issue.

This design should never have got through planning process and the pause should be made permanent please @simonlightwood @LordPeterHendy.
The pause on floating bus stops by @LordPeterHendy @simonlightwood is for shared use bus borders as shown in the video, where passengers board & alight the bus directly from & into the cycle lane. This pause needs to be made permanent, along with all types of floating bus stops.

It's unacceptable that blind people in London are unable to use public transport independently due to routing cycle lanes on and through pavements at bus stops.

Hyacinth & the @MayorofLondon @TfL every journey matters advert for #IDPD2022 ‘Well it doesn’t work for me as I can’t travel by bus anymore if I have to get off where there is a cycle lane. I only go out if it absolutely necessary. My independence is being eroded bit by bit’#CRPD

@newdawn75 uses the train as her main way of traveling, Sarah said ‘I am so angry, it’s unbelievable, to take away my independence. It is going to exclude & isolate me. What disgusts me even more @Mark_J_Harper was a former Minister for Disabled People so he should know better’
