Submitted by ugly on Tue, 26/02/2013 - 13:03

Wiggle round the concrete bollard, dismount, somehow push your bike through the narrow A-frame, remount and ride off - what could be simpler? Try it with panniers for double the 'fun'. A-frames are used to keep motor bikes out, but also discourage cyclists.

Where does this cycle lane go? The road is 2 lanes of traffic in the opposite direction. The pavement is a main pedestrian route into the city centre.

As I passed, a bus and lorry came up the road, side by side with the lorry closest to the cycle lane. I yelped.

Here's the bit before the above. Looks promising (apart from the oncoming traffic inches away).

Following a “Go Dutch” workshop hosted by transport planners from the Netherlands, Mark Robinson described a possible approach to Regent St. Mark reported the workshop had recommended “build stuff” – the attendees had asked about training and awareness and the Dutch had said “build quality stuff” – that’s more important. The proposal for Regent St is a “hybrid cycle lane” which would have on-road sections, with priority over side streets, and where no side streets exist, shared use on pavements. Detailed survey information should be available shortly.
