Oficial de TfL no logra detener a ciclistas eléctricos en la Oxford Street peatonal

El London Evening Standard informó que un agente de Transport for London tuvo dificultades para hacer cumplir la prohibición peatonal en Oxford Street, tras la difusión de imágenes que mostraban a ciclistas eléctricos circulando por la zona cerrada e ignorando la señalización. Según la BBC, se abrió a peatones aproximadamente un kilómetro de Oxford Street entre Orchard Street y Great Portland Street como primera fase de un plan de regeneración más amplio. The Telegraph informó previamente que ciclistas y repartidores utilizaban la calle pese al veto temporal impuesto por la administración del alcalde, que prohibía autobuses, taxis y ciclistas.

The Guardian describió la inauguración del tramo por parte del alcalde Sadiq Khan, con elogios de compradores y algunos comercios, mientras operadores de transporte y ciclistas manifestaron su incomodidad. Además, el London Evening Standard señaló que, en el segundo día de la prueba, Transport for London registró alrededor de un ciclista por minuto circulando en la zona restringida, aunque no se impusieron multas.
