Over two thirds of cyclists run red light at traffic lights where elderly nurse, 81, died crossing the road after being hit by a bike - as her son says stretch is 'being treated like a racetrack'
More than two thirds of cyclists are running a red signal at newly installed traffic lights where an elderly nurse died. Cyclists and motorists face the same on-the-spot fine of £50 by police if they are caught running a red light. Mrs Griffiths's son, Gerard, told the Daily Mail cyclists are treating the circular road where his mother was hit like a 'racetrack'. I have nearly been hit because cyclists go too fast and run through red light. No pedestrians were hit by cars while only two near misses involving vehicles were reported, according to accident logs held by the Royal Parks.
