Today we've published our report on bus-stop bypasses in London 📃

Our analysis shows a very low risk of collisions between pedestrians and cyclists.

But we know there's work to do to improve designs and cyclist behaviour.

Bus-stop bypasses are used around the world to facilitate safe cycling on bus routes 🚲🚌

We cannot deliver safe cycling infrastructure without them.

Stopping their use would put cyclists' lives at risk, including disabled cyclists who use bikes as mobility aids.

Our review found that just 4 collisions took place at bus-stops between cyclists and pedestrians from 2020-22 - none on the crossing.

For context, over 11,400 pedestrians and 15,000 cyclists were injured in collisions with motor vehicles in the same period.

We are committed to working with all stakeholders to make everyone's transport experience as safe as possible.

We have set out detailed next steps, including 👇

✅ Bringing bus-stop bypasses up to standard
✅ Addressing cyclist behavior
✅ Improving designs

Keeping everyone travelling in the capital safe is our top priority and we’re determined to make the network as inclusive as possible.

We will continue to work with disabled people and accessibility groups to reflect on the findings of our review.
