Where does Tower Street and Piccadilly meet? Did you mean Piccadilly and Fishergate?

Debatable where Tower Street ends and Fishergate starts?

Good luck to the cyclist. Was this on the orbital cycle route Paul? I think I would feel safer in my car.....security word "walk less" ha ha

Turning your car straight across my path was a pretty stupid thing to do, and risked causing exactly the sort of accident we're reading about.
I've had more than one near miss on that junction, involving cars (and a bus) that failed to indicate or give way when I've been riding south from Piccadilly. Sadly, this report doesn't surprise me at all. I wonder what happened here?
