A good question is: who would prosecute a cyclist for passing a sign
that said "No Entry - Except Cyclists" (in this instance it allows
access to a contra-flow solid-line cycle lane on an otherwise one-way
street). But the Cambridge city fathers seem convinced that someone
would get cross with them if they put up a sign which wasn't in the
book.


The Government won't allow such signs. Cambridge City Council would dearly
like to have some but we have been refused repeatedly. At least one of our
cycle contra flow arrangements is regarded as frowned upon by the
Government regional office.


So why didn't they refuse Peterborough - or did they just put the sign
up anyway?
