Successful 18 month trial of motorbikes and cyclists sharing bus lanes in London may become widespread
The trial allowed motorbikes and cyclists to use bus lanes as a way of easing congestion. Research by Transport for London has uncovered that it has also reduced accident rates between cyclists and motorbikes by as much as 40%. Similar reductions in accident rates have been seen in Plymouth, where they had a drop from 22 KSI (Killed or Seriously Injured) in 2006 to 14 in 2008.
