Flashing "intelligent" road studs have been installed at junctions along
a busy road in Hull in a bid to improve safety for cyclists and drivers.
Well, the recent video of a cyclist getting squashed by a bright red
monster truck fitted out with dayglo stripes, blue flashing lights, and a siren loud enough to wake the dead, just goes to show what a pious hope it
is that cyclists will take any notice whatsoever of piddly flashing road studs.

France requires any vehicle over 3.5T to display 'Angle Mort' plates / stickers- one each side at the front and one at the rear. The they are,
under A4 in size.
I challenge anyone to explain how, an A4 sticker (or even 3 of then) on
the side of a vehicle which will be at least the size of a large Transit
type Van more visible to cyclists or pedestrians.
Then, they have their 'Crit Air' stickers (will some of them do). They
cost about 5 euro and, in theory, you can't enter some cities without
one. The German system is even more hilarious. They don't even record
which vehicles have them. You turn up the the equivalent of the MOT
station, show your reg document, pay 5 euro, and the man issues a
sticker- even hand writing your reg number on with a felt tip pen in
some cases (the one we used was 'posh', he used a Dymo).
