I had the wonderful experience of using the new ELOR cycle paths / pedestrian path in Leeds (they have both, side by side, utterly fantastic, the way forward imo) and some chap requesting I stop whereupon he gave me a lecture about cycling on pedestrian lanes and that I should be on the road!
I asked him to look up to his right and he witnessed a lovely large sign showing he was in the cycle lane and that the pedestrian path was to his right next to it. I told him he'd see more visual clues on the paths themselves as he walked down them too. Speechless at first, he found his voice and informed me he'd never seen this kind of thing before and it should all be for pedestrians only.
We meet all sorts.
Well - I can see his point
I mean - the concept of cycle lanes is clearly a new fangled woke policy that only people who have the news on all day can possibly have known about
I mean - the first cycle lanes I saw were only about 60 years ago
you can;t expect people to keep up if the pace of change is so fast!!!!!!!
