There’s traffic signs all around New York and Washington DC that make me wish London had something similar. For example:

– New York: Cyclists must always yield to pedestrians

– New York: Don’t block the box! Fine plus 2 points (not sure anyone in London even knows what a box junction is, beyond pretty yellow road decoration)

– Washington DC: Drivers must stop for pedestrians already on the crosswalk. (City law apparently.)

Boris is a fan of New York, right? Someone should get him on this…

I now return you to your previously-scheduled “where the hell’s your blog entry for the rest of New York?”

(I hear it’s cold and wet over there. 28C and blazing sunshine say hi. Apropos of none of this, the National Museum of the American Indian is fascinating.)
