"A POLITICIAN has asked cyclists to name the borough's accident
hotspots, after figures showed nearly 100 were injured on roads last
year.
"Joanne McCartney, London Assembly Member for Enfield and Haringey,
said she wanted to know where road users thought the most dangerous
junctions and roundabouts were."

Haringey Council: "Studies in London have revealed that, over short distances at least,
the pedal cycle in all its forms is capable of being the fastest, most
inexpensive, reliable and beneficial form of wheeled transport.
"The pedal cycle is particularly suitable for local trips, a third of
which are under a mile long and 85 percent of which are less than five
miles in length. Cycling, together with other measures such as travel
plans, traffic restraint, and initiatives to encourage more walking are
crucial to reducing congestion, improving the environment, and promoting
social inclusion and better health.
"Haringey has a network of cycle routes across the borough including
cycle lanes on main roads, separated cycle lanes, and special fully
signed, quiet routes."
