I am sorry to read about your late Uncle's accident that caused his death, the person who hit him must feel very guilty but so they should, and the nursing home should have been more in control of the way electric scooters were used within the confines of the home. |

Mau, when we were in Spain it was a very flat, and fairly quiet area and the main attraction is a very long and flat promenade. This is well used by people walking, both holiday makers and local people. It is also used by cyclists, both tourists on hire bikes and Trikes and local people on bikes and trikes. For somebody like me who doesn't hear well whhat is happening behind it is a bit of a nightmare. I lost count of the times that T grabbed me and pulled me out of the path of cyclists who seemed to be practising for the tour de France. :-( |

Might be a good Idea to fit them with "Air Horns" then people will be able to hear them. :-D |

People with a hearing loss should not be 'punished' with an air-horn surely? |

Some now have split use Sue, part pedestrian and part cycle path. |

Surely if a pavement is split part pedestrianized, part cycle path, shouldn't the cyclists have a speed limit? |

The path used to have a dividing line and a picture of a bike and a pedestrian to keep the two separate but since resurfacing their is no line now, and no speed limit. The worry is that a) it is the route home for many younger children and b) it is the route home for many olde children on bikes. |

Depending on the area and usage, divided paths may not work out quite as expected. |
