Coroner requests surfaces of blue cycle lanes be urgently fixed after motorcyclist skids and dies

A coroner has demanded Transport for London do an "urgent review" of the blue paint used on cycle superhighways after a motorcyclist died earlier this month. As a result, coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox has issued TfL with a prevention of death report after deeming the surfaces unsafe.

Looks like it would be slippery. That paint should have never been used until it passed slip proof resistance test. Shame on them.  >:(

Or if they were going to use paint, they should have added grit in it for traction.
