I am curious. Will Dr. Craddock further explain the issue of the off-ramp and the 60 km/h? I get some of what he talked about regarding the difficulties with shared spaces. I am tangent-ing on this, not for the first time. When I was on the transport committee, we dealt with a huge piece on e-scooters. We heard from the National Council for the Blind and a number of organisations representing disability groups, in addition to those companies that wanted to operate systems and all the rest of it.

It would be impossible to deliver for all who are interested. In the middle of it my own wee lad went out and bought one. I am on the record as saying that lucky enough it broke and I never bothered fixing it. It is very difficult to get to that perfect point.

I will come back to more specific questions on it, and I will not to take too long, but perhaps Dr. Craddock will respond on the ramp issue.
