Even if you never drive, a lot of what you have, like furniture, was delivered by a truck. There still might be a lot of truck cargo delivery, but the London Cyclist Campaign has come up with a design that will be safer for both cyclists and pedestrians!

 The two trucks don’t seem much different, however there are two major and safer changes. Take a look at the windshields. The safe one (right) provides much better downward visibility than the unsafe version (left). To get a better idea, let’s take a look at these pictures.

 As you can see, the cyclist is visible and therefore the truck driver would slow down for safety, saving the cyclist. Compare that to the original truck, where the cyclist isn’t even visible.

 Yikes! The cyclist certainly isn’t safe now. The other major change will be guardrails below the truck, to avoid cyclists getting swept under the rear wheels. Take a look at this picture.

 The red truck’s guardrails would block a cyclist from getting run over, but the blue truck’s wide gap would sweep someone under and spell certain death for the cyclist. None of these changes are expensive, and I think they should be made! What do you think of these changes? Do you like them or not? Any ideas for other changes? Let me know in the comments!
