Thank you everyone for the extremely important contribution you have made to this petition and thus to its issues. The petition has been presented to Val Shawcross of the London Assembly, who will use it to directly challenge the Mayor (backed by all 2700+ signatures) on June 8th, in the next Assembly session.
The profile of this petition's issues has been boosted already, particularly that of Trixi mirrors, and the presenting of this enormous petition to Mr Johnson by one of his colleagues will give them even greater focus. Key London politicians such as Ken Livingstone and Caroline Pidgeon are now talking about cycle safety much more and this puts increasing pressure on the Mayor to address the terms of this petition.

We the undersigned call upon the Mayor, as Chair of TfL, and the Members of the Greater London Authority to:
- Immediately install “Trixi” mirrors at every A Road junction, starting with the A503, Camden Road, then move on to B Roads. Let's have London-wide safety for our cyclists, not a patchwork cover.
- Furthermore, immediately create bike boxes at EVERY stopping point at this dangerous junction.
- Immediately begin work upon designated, dedicated cycle routes across Camden so that cyclists have their own clearly-defined and safe places to ride.
- Ensure that ALL London lorry drivers receive appropriate cycle-awareness training. We cannot have different standards for different boroughs.
- Enforce this: Keep lorry drivers who are not appropriately trained OFF London roads.
