Campaigners Urge London to Scrap 'Death Trap' Floating Bus Stops

The National Federation of the Blind of the UK is calling for the removal of London's floating bus stops, where cycle lanes run between the pavement and bus stops. They argue these designs pose significant dangers to disabled and visually impaired pedestrians, citing near-collision incidents captured in a widely viewed video. Campaigners highlight the difficulty in hearing approaching cyclists due to road noise and criticize Mayor Sadiq Khan for not addressing their concerns despite previous commitments. The government has paused some new floating bus stops pending further research, while the City of London Corporation maintains that their cycleways meet required standards with added safety measures.
