The Met police sponsored a Spatial Awareness day on 16/9/08 at the Kingsland Fire Station on the A10 in Hackney, London GB. Positioned 50m from a busy junction, police waved down passing cyclists who disobeyed traffic signals. Risking a £30 on-the-spot fine, six cyclists were stopped by police officers within a 30 min. period. Money aside, three cyclists have been killed near this location within the past year, several in accidents involving large vehicles.
