• [Cycling] Cyclists ignore pedestrians crossing

    TfL's own research into the matter — commissioned by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan in March, it involved recording 24 hours of rush hour video at eight
    sites — found that *60 per cent of cyclists* *did not stop* to let pedestrians cross at floating bus stops with zebra crossings. [emphasis
    added]

    "Where there was a pedestrian/cyclist interaction, a significant number of cyclists did not yield to pedestrians (60 per cent didn't yield, compared
    to 40 per cent that did)," the leaked TfL slides stated. "Most often non-yielding involved the pedestrian waiting until the cyclists had passed, some occasions the cyclists would pass the pedestrian on the crossing, and other occasions the pedestrian did not cross at all and continued to stand
    at the crossing until a bus arrived."
