Also, they will start to dominate the ASL areas, which are often

So only potentially, not reality

No 'potentially' about it in Glasgow. ASLs are routinely blocked by
motorvehicles, and not always legitimately (by which I mean drivers
finding themselves already in that area when the lights go back to red
and they cannot proceed).

On my way home last night I was stopped at a light controlled
junction. During the green man phase I watched a motorcyclist filter
up between the lanes of cars on the other street and plonk himself at
the front of the cyclists' ASL area. He was a police motorcyclist.
At least now I know why the police ignore abuse of ASLs.
