“For the past three years there have been 16 collisions in total on Royal College Street, 12 of them involved cyclists. There have been no collisions since the scheme with the Armadillos went in.

Safe schemes save money for everyone and ones that increase cycling bring multiple benefits to the economy, environment and peoples health.“
