Summary

[edit]
Description
English: It appears that some highly paid professional planners have sited a "cycling superhighway" at the place where pedestrians emerge from Seven Sisters tube station.

Does everyone arriving at Seven Sisters station - whatever their knowledge of English - know what the sign "CS1" means? Or assume without explanation that if you are disabled or with small children you'll need to be extra careful?

Or better still, perhaps everyone should assume that children should always be locked-up in their home? And that parents can always transport them from place to place by car? _____________________________

The loss of children's independent mobility – a poorly recognised outcome of public policies, Video by Dr Mayer Hillman "Changes in the circumstances of groups in society that do not have an effective voice to influence public policy development have been revealed in my research on children’s lifestyles. Parents now allow their children to travel on their own to school and for leisure purposes at a much later age than in previous generations, and there has been a marked reduction in children’s overall activity outside the home free of overt adult supervision. This freedom has tended to be withdrawn largely on account of parental fears of road crashes and ‘stranger danger’. Road accidents are an inadequate measure of road safety: a primary reason for the marked decline in child casualties on the road is not the fact that roads have become safer but that children’s independent travel has been dramatically curtailed."
