    The main thing that pops out is the amount of slip junctions which have been retained in this draft of the plans -- which seems to go against the NTA cycling guidelines and the manual for urban roads and streets.

    On the other hand, quite a lot of space is being given over to cycling. That's commendable. But there's signs here that DLR is not ready for segregation on these types of roads.

    How you're supposed to cross the road at a few places seems unclear at first look -- I'm unsure of the use of toucan crossing here and in other DLR projects.

    Planning a detailed blog post about it, will post the link when I manage to get around to it.

    Have not got around to the detailed blog post yet, but here's a news item covering some core conflicts between the design and cycling and walking design guidelines:

    Blackrock upgrade retains design “exposing pedestrians and cyclists to greater danger”
