Embankment (E-W) s'hway is not so bad, and still fine off-peak. But riding N-S thru the junction where they intersect (o/s Blackfriars Station) is horrific at rush-hour. Huge conflicts with cyclist peletons hurting towards you and/or stopping to turn in all directions, all in far too little space.

Yep those 2 s'highways are victims of their own success. Riding N-S thru the Blackfriars Station junction is especially awful, and it's impossible for bus passengers to cross the solid 2-way flow of cycle traffic to reach the floating bus stop just N of there. New S-bound cycle lane urgently needed!

Well, I hope that'll prove to be the case, though I fear I don't share your confidence. I guess we'll just have to wait and see though...

"Woman dies ... after being hit by car" does suggest that cars kill on their own. Compare it with headlines after a shooting. There is never any suggestion that the shooting was done by the gun.

It would not be contempt of court if headline had said "Man arrested after woman killed and 3 injured in Rochdale road crash".
Factual and in no way legally prejudicial, without suggesting that cars somehow kill on their own. It can be done.

Agree with your basic point. However for the sake of accuracy, note that this news report only says that someone has been arrested on suspicion of murder, it doesn't tell us whether they have been charged (yet).
