"Police blitz on drivers, bikes and HGVs to tackle 'appalling' London cycle carnage"

Link to Evening Standard

"Hundreds of police are to flood central London in a 'zero-tolerance' campaign against dangerous road users, in a bid to halt the 'appalling' spate of cyclist deaths.

"Specialist traffic officers will be on duty on every major street, especially notorious junctions.

"Starting on Monday, they will be looking for motorists using mobile phones, drivers stopping in the advance 'bike boxes' at traffic lights and cyclists riding on the inside of HGVs.

The decision was taken at a meeting between the Met and City Hall last night, hours after charity volunteer Richard Muzira became the sixth cyclist to die on the capital’s roads in less than two weeks."
