The road seemed very quiet until I realised that traffic was backing up behind me!<br /><br />There seems to be enough space for cars to overtake on the outbound lane. But not the citybound. Ok if motorists are prepared to slow down.<br /><br />If you think it's too dangerous, phone 0500 834 333 and ask for the Road Safety team.George Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515037929935424227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376531984269924769.post-44825770148596167032012-09-17T18:38:25.596+01:002012-09-17T18:38:25.596+01:00Achtung!

Its a 40 mph limit dual carriageway that has been narrowd considerably forcing cars into the bus lane on one side and the cycle lane on the other. In my opinion it should have a temporary 20 mph restriction applied. It is lethal for bikes.

This would save on the crossing upgrade and reduce conflict between cars and cycles.<br /><br />Also can they include the "direct" route from Bedlan Lane to Tescos to the South of the petrol station as this eliminates crossing petrol station access road to get to the cycle park (and is the way that everybody goes).<br /><br /> Peter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376531984269924769.post-796131533819581512012-09-03T19:58:54.346+01:002012-09-03T19:58:54.346+01:00Can we have cycle lanes please on the busy Brandon...Can we have cycle lanes please on the busy Brandon Road, Clifford Bridge Road and also complete the missing bits from Allard Way?
